The Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) will host a Kids Craft Fair at the Boys and Girls Club of Fontana Clubhouse on Thursday, Jan. 21.

Terri O, a home arts expert, TV host, and celebrity crafter, will be on hand to emcee the event.

As part of its commitment to the Kids In Need Foundation, CHA pledged to host a Kids Craft Fair for about 200 children at the local Boys and Girls Club of Fontana. With supplies donated by generous CHA members, the children at the Boys and Girls Club will be able to create four different craft projects. This free craft event is not open to the public.

The School Tools program of Inland Empire United Way’s Education and Health Initiative provides free school supplies to local teachers and students in need, and is a proud affiliate of the Kids In Need Foundation’s national network of teacher resource centers.

“We are so grateful for our ongoing partnership with CHA and the Kids In Need Foundation, and for the opportunity to bring this exciting event to our community’s children,” said Lorraine Ousley, Director of Inland Empire United Way’s Education and Health Initiative, KidSmart. “We also appreciate our local partners, such as the Boys and Girls Club, Auto Club Speedway, Target Distribution Center, and the City of Fontana for helping to make this event a success.”

CHA will also host fundraising events after the Kids Craft Fair, and proceeds and product donations will benefit programs like School Tools that support teachers in under-funded and economically disadvantaged schools.
