This Holiday Season is going to financially difficult for SO MANY throughout our communities.
If you are in a position to donate a NEW, UNWRAPPED toy to a family in need this year, you can drop those physical donations off in the Toys For Tots donation box at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find until end of day on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
If you are able to donate, but would prefer to do so with a monetary, or virtual donation, you can do so through the Toys For Tots Website:

Let’s all be HEROES this Holiday Season.
Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find and the Heroes Convention are honored to consider Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff and Team Cul de Sac as a part of our family.
Not only that, but Cheap Joe’s serves as the Art Supply Sponsor for our Live Art Stage, Friday Evening Drink and Draw for Team Cul de Sac, AND for our Quick Draw events…as well as being THE PLACE for artists to re-stock their art supplies during our show each year!
Both Cheap Joe’s AND Team Cul de Sac are based out of Asheville, NC, which, as most of you will know, was hit INCREDIBLY HARD by Hurricane Helene.
Team Cul de Sac would like to gather as many art supplies for the Asheville and Swannanoa Elementary and Middle School kids as possible to help kids create as their community rebuilds.
The best of the best, Miss Aly Perez from Cheap Joes is willing to assist this cause by creating $15 individual art packets to donate to these area schools. ($15 = One Packet per student)
Cheap Joes is still operating without internet services, so Team Cul de Sac has offered to handle donations. This effort will not only help the community, but will also help out the art community AND a local small business!
If you are able, and would like to send a monetary donation through Team Cul de Sac, you may do so through Venmo.

Last 4 digits are 0158
If you are local to the Asheville area, you can donate in person at Cheap Joes by purchasing supplies.
You can call Cheap Joes directly at 1-828-518-6019 and ask for Aly. She should have photos of the packs next week.
We appreciate any help that you can offer to our friends and community!!
