At Katie's Kits, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the transformative power of the arts. Founded by Katie Dice—former Miss Hampshire County, current Miss North Eastern, and a passionate advocate for arts education—our nonprofit is dedicated to supplying art supplies to elementary school children and classrooms throughout the state of West Virginia.

Inspired by her community service initiative, A.R.T.S Heal, and her own journey of personal growth through the arts, Katie launched Katie's Kits to ensure that no child misses out on the creative opportunities that shaped her life. Art fosters imagination, confidence, and self-expression, yet too often, it's overlooked due to financial constraints and a lack of resources. Katie's Kits aims to bridge that gap, providing students and teachers with essential supplies that make artistic exploration accessible to all.

A paintbrush, a set of crayons, or a simple sketchpad may seem like small contributions, but Katie is convinced that even the smallest opportunities can create profound changes in a child's life. Through art, children can discover their voice, their vision, and their potential—and we're committed to helping make that possible.

Join us in bringing creativity to classrooms and empowering young artists across West Virginia. Because when children have the tools to create, they have the power to dream, grow, and thrive.
