How You Can Help LAVA House Residents and Artists

Residential Needs
Bart Herre, Hannah Cameron, and Seed (Joshua Grubbs) lost everything they owned in the fire, because they were living there.

• Registry - Bart, Hannah, and Seed will be registering at Target (Monday 1/28 & Tuesday 1/29) for things they need replaced. Bart and Hannah are a couple, so they will have a combined registry. Seed will have his own personal registry. More information will be posted after they have registered.
• Gift Cards - Kroger, Valu-Market, Walgreens, Valu-City, Meijer, and especially Visa gift cards because they can use them anyplace
• Furniture - couch(s), beds, night stands, dressers, chests, tables & chairs, desks
• Duffle bags
• Pots and Pans

Studio Needs
There were 9 artists who lost their studios (Stuart Barr, Scott Belcher, Hannah Cameron, Dave Caudill, Aron Conaway, Bart Herre, Glenn Herre, Hallie Jones, Kristin Shelor). That means their tools, artwork, drawings, materials, supplies, personal items, storage..... the list can go on for miles.

We want to split all money that is raised for studio supplies equally in 9 ways. All other items, such as tools and supplies will be placed in storage until we can figure out what we're doing and how to split it up.

If there is a specific person you want your donation to go to, that is wonderful! Just let us know who should be the recipient of the gift.

• Monetary donations
• Gift cards - Lowe's, Home Depot, Preston Arts Center, Michael's, Baer Fabric, Visa gift cards

For people who have duplicate tools, things in storage that they don't need, and items that they might not use, here are some things that can help.

• Drafting tables
• Work benches
• 4 sewing machines (Hannah, Hallie, Seed, Kristin all lost sewing machines)
• Power tools (table saws, miter saws, chop saws, compressors and pneumatic tool attachments)
• Welders

More information and an updated list will be posted soon.

Please contact Hallie Jones (502-641-4413 - halliedj@hotmail.com) or Aron Conaway (502-758-8338 - aronconaway@hotmail.com) if you would like to drop off donations. We will likely schedule a day and time for people to drop things off at our storage space.
