A portion of the proceeds from this sale will go to No Kid Hungry and The Process Wellness Foundation

No Kid Hungry is a national campaign run by the nonprofit Share Our Strength with the mission to end child hunger in the United States. It provides grants, training, and resources to schools and community groups to improve and launch meal programs, while also advocating for better policies and helping families access programs like SNAP and WIC. The organization addresses the issue by working to ensure children have access to three healthy meals a day, 365 days a year, and by tackling the root causes of hunger like poverty and systemic inequities

The Process Wellness Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit deeply committed to expanding access to high-quality mental health care in California — especially for those who have historically been underserved, marginalized, or overlooked. We offer therapy services at low or no cost for people who can’t afford traditional fees. Your support helps ensure fee is not a barrier. Unlike many training sites, we also pay our therapist trainees a livable wage (an uncommon but vital practice in today’s field) so that those dedicating their careers to healing others are not exploited while they learn.
