Crafting for charity usually brings to mind the skills and talents of knitting, crocheting, and sewing. But any craft can be employed for helping others. And if you have no talent (well, first of all you are wrong because we all have some talent – you just need to find it!), or don’t feel your skills are ready yet, there is an organization that needs you and your friends to paint murals for sick kids.

Paint-A-Mural is an organization that assists communities so that people can come together and turn a bleak hospital wall (or any number of other walls), into something to delight the eye of a child.

One side benefit, is that when these people come together for the Paint-A-Mural events, bonds are created, thus strengthening the community itself. It is a wonderful project for a company to present to its employees, and it would give some nice press coverage for the donating company.

There are various “packages” that can be used by groups. More than one mural is an option if the group is large. There are seven designs to choose from and it will be sectioned off for the number of people that are participating.

Paint-A-Mural does reserve the right to approve of the location of the mural, but the list of possible recepients is quite large. They are also looking for people to help with putting together murals for terminally ill children.

Check out Paint-A-Mural. It could be the perfect crafting experience for you as you donate your time for others. Its fun, easy, and can brighten the day for many, many people.
