Mutual Aid Event: Decorate Birthday Giftbags with New Hope Community Food Pantry
About This Event
Give back while meeting other readers!
New Hope Community Food Pantry is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emergency food assistance to individuals and families in need serving the northwest side of Chicago since 2004.
To make the day a little more special, New Hope has a tradition of giving out decorated giftbags to their clients on their birthdays. They're currently running low and they need the help of the Goblin Market crafter community to make a new batch!
They will also be accepting donations of cake mix, canned frosting, and birthday candles. Bring something to donate, and you'll be entered into a special raffle for a prize from Goblin Market!
Plain white bags and the paintpens and other supplies to decorate them will be provided.

Trans Occultist Meetup
This is a place for trans occultists of all traditions to share experiences and knowledge with one another. Pagans, witches, chaotes, Luciferians, esoteric Christans, Thelemites, African Diaspora practitioners, and everybody else. If you practice magick and consider yourself some sort of non-cisgender, you are welcome. You are also welcome if you are just questioning your gender, and if you are merely magickally curious. Do not worry about not being trans enough or magickal enough. First Thursday of each month, 7pm-10pm
