✨ Introducing: Holiday HeARTs ✨

A healing arts experience hosted by Ronin Project — bringing creativity, comfort, and care to families living in shelters or recovering from domestic violence.

These private events are scheduled for November 15th (Colorado) and December 8th (Virginia), and we need your help to make it a reality.

We are partnering with PeaceWorks, Inc (Colorado) and New Directions Center (Virginia) to offer safe, joyful spaces for families to reconnect, express themselves through art, and receive small gifts of encouragement during the holidays. Children will create artwork that we’ll press onto t-shirts — turning their designs into wearable strength. Parents will receive wellness kits, self-care items, and personalized messages of hope. All of this is only possible with your support.

🔒 To protect the privacy and safety of the families, this event is not open to the public — but your donations will be front and center in making it meaningful.

Interested in supporting? Below are our current needs.
