AMIT
Kayla’s Craft Closet has partnered with an AMIT youth-focused group home in Israel, to which Kayla’s Craft Closet has brought arts-and-crafts supplies, including beads, markers, crayons, construction paper, and paint. These supplies were donated in order to give these children an outlet for creative expression, particularly in times of stress and situations in which these young people need to escape through engaging in the creative process. AMIT’s mission statement is to provide innovative, Jewish values-based education, and have a life-changing impact on more than 41,000 children—70% of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
