ACEO Art for Charity —Soon in a Vending Machine
Coming to the EAST SIDE CAFE IN EAST Dundee
A one-of-a-kind Art Trading Card vending machine is arriving — part gallery, part giving experience.
Local artists donate artwork that becomes collectible Artist Trading Cards (ACEOs).
Each purchase directly supports charities that strengthen our community.
This machine brings together art, storytelling, and purpose — creating a simple, powerful way to give.
We’re proud to launch this in East Dundee and can’t wait to share what’s next.

small works of art into big community impact
Our Mission
For-Charity brings artists and communities together to raise funds for meaningful causes through creative collaboration.
We create simple, engaging ways for people to support local charities while celebrating the power of art.
How it works
Artists donate original or printed artwork that is transformed into collectible Artist Trading Cards (ACEOs).
Each card purchased directly supports charities focused on food security, recovery, housing, and community needs.
WHY IT MATTERS
Every card represents generosity — from the artist who creates it to the person who chooses to give.
Together, we turn creativity into real impact, strengthening our community one small piece of art at a time.

Passionate about helping food pantries
Selling Shamrocks for Charity is our biggest passion. This initiative has collected over $43,000 since brought to the McNamee Foundation in 2018!
All profits are returned from this annual tradition in East Dundee, Illinois to local food pantries.
