Our Board by Board fundraiser for GiveABQ wouldn't be the same without the beautiful charcuterie boards and platters crafted by local artisans. Event attendees bid on the donated boards during a silent auction, so each piece will help raise more money for GiveABQ!

If you are an artist who creates platters or boards out of wood, metal, glass or other materials, please consider entering our contest and auction. It’s a wonderful opportunity to gain fans, and you will be helping GiveABQ, our community's furniture bank, to provide furnishings for local families in need.

🎨➡️Artists, learn more or enter your boards: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=DL60FUXackSCdl76JFpNs5K1Y8LpKOBNrD0ii_0RRDZUMlBRV0o5S0c3MEgzT0Q0T1dTWkc3R1hVSy4u&route=shorturl

How cute is this hand painted card?!

Something fun we do at Adelante is have our clients paint cards that we give out internally for celebrations like employee work anniversaries.

It ties back to our mission, it's a great way to showcase the creativity of our clients, and also provides something heartfelt to our wonderful staff members!

This card was created by Leia who participates in our Adventures day program. Great job Leia!
