Evergreen Memory Box Painting Group

The Memory Box Program is an international program where boxes are decorated and donated to hospitals to be given to grieving families as a keepsake to hold mementos and to provide a bit of comfort to the family.

A local group, the Evergreen Memory Box Artists, meets the second Friday of each month at Spokane Art Supply to decorate boxes.  Each attendee purchases a papier mache box which can be decorated by painting, decoupaging, stamping or any way they choose.  Keep in mind that this is a celebration of the child.  The boxes become treasured keepsakes for families who have lost a child.

Boxes are donated locally to Sacred Heart Medical Center and Kootenai Medical Center.  In addition we ship boxes throughout the U.S.
