Gifting to Trans Youth in Need

Howdy y’all! Please consider donating or gifting to trans youth this holiday season through Transanta! Transanta is a community organization who delivers gifts to trans youth both safely and anonymously. Queer & trans people have been at the center of hate in more ways than one — whether that be direct tragic attacks or anti-trans legislation being proposed across the country. It isn’t difficult to see or understand how this negatively impacts our community deeply, especially BIPOC trans youth. While there is a plethora of work to do and many conversations to have; focusing on giving to trans youth is more important than ever. If you have the means to donate, please do and help bring some joy to trans youth. Being queer and trans is beautiful; let’s do our best to support trans youth and that notion. Happy holidays to you and yours! Wishing you all warmth and safety.

You can donate on the Transanta website or if you’re looking to gift directly, check out the wishlists on their Instagram.

THE HOPE PROJECT

 

We are gathering donations for families impacted by wildfires in partnership with The Hope Project. Volunteers are working hard cleaning up damaged and destroyed homes and towns. Consequently, volunteers are in need of: quality or new square-head shovels, round-tip shovels, metal rakes, new (never worn) leather gloves, and new garden hoses. In addition, many families displaced by the fires don’t have access to a kitchen. Families are seeking: new (in box) toaster ovens, toasters, and slow cookers.

YOU CAN HELP! DROP OFF DONATIONS ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10TH FROM 11AM-5PM AT 1401 NE ALBERTA STREET. WE WILL BE THERE TO COLLECT ITEMS AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU, TOO!
