Autumn & Winter Giving

Donate To Our:

CrowdRise & Amazon WishList

The days and nights are getting cold...

This season, we're raising $5,000 to help kids and families in need and the homeless within our communities. 80% of the funds raised will go to the kids & their families, and the 20% will go to those without a home. Please Donate Above. Thank you for your love and support!

Amount Raised: $5,942 December 16th, 2016

Kids in Need .

We’re collecting full-sized toothpaste & toothbrushes, shampoo & conditioner, laundry detergent and feminine hygiene pads. These items will be donated to the Linkages to Learning programs at two schools where families can take them home on an at need basis. These families fall under the low-income bracket, and at times move around often because of where and how long they’re able to secure housing.

We're also sponsoring 20 kids for the holidays with a focus on middle school students and their families whom sponsors are harder to come by because of the age group. We've partnered with Summit Hall ES and Forest Oak MS in Montgomery County, Maryland.

A Birthday A Year .

We're raising funds to give 18 girls and boys in the 2nd and 3rd grades a birthday this year. We've partnered with Summit Hall ES.

Those Without A Home .

We'll be giving out gloves, vaseline, trash bags, men's coats, sandwiches, fruit and hot drinks to those without a home this season.

To DONATE visit our CrowdRise and/or Amazon WishList

We're also selling winter hats and snapbacks. All proceeds go to Me & You. Message us on IG to purchase!

As always, thank you for the support and love.

Warmth for Valentine’s Day

This year, instead of the usual self-loathing over how I was once again loveless on another Valentine’s Day, I decided I’d use that energy toward giving out some love for people who really needed it. I enlisted the help of my good friend, Ivana, and what began as a simple idea, became a whole lot more.

We are so fortunate to know such loving and generous people. We were able to feed and provide a little more warmth to more than 100 people in the city on this day, mostly homeless, in shelters and on streets. Thank you to all those who donated, the volunteers who helped us get the packages together, and our dear friends who woke up at 8 a.m. on a cold Saturday morning to help us distribute the items.

Happy Valentine’s Day

We decided to concentrate on packages that would take care of daily needs for the summer. For women: packages contained underwear, nail clippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, deodorant, chapstick, bandaids, shampoo, sunscreen, soap, Qtips and tampons. For men: packages contained underwear nailclippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, deodorant, shampoo, sunscreen, chapstick, bandaids, hairbrushes, baby wipes, soap and Qtips.

We received $755 in cash donations, in addition to countless items. We used the funds to purchase enough items to create 200 care packages (85 men, 69 women, and 47 unisex), 250 bananas and pears, 240 croissants and bagels, 98 granola bars and 355 bottles of cold water. Each package also contained a handwritten note.

We distributed the items on Sunday, August 9th, outside the CCNV/Open Door Shelter, McPherson Square Park, Bethany Women’s Shelter, Clarendon/Courthouse and on parks and sidewalks.

For all of this, we thank you, for your contributions and support.

We are so fortunate to know such loving and generous people. We could not have achieved this on the scale that we did without you. ❤ Happy Valentine's Day. From us to you. We fed and provided a little bit more warmth to more than 100 people in the city today, mostly homeless, in shelters, on streets.  

And thank you to those who helped us physically get this together and hand them out at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning.
