We're back with a roundup of organizations, community events and feel-good moments to celebrate. The holiday spirit? Yeah, we've heard of her... She shines, she sparkles and she lives for mutual aid!

Happiest of holidays to you and your chosen family. To renewed hope and boundless love in the New Year! Thank you for supporting Otherwild. 

TRANSANTA x OW HOLIDAY RAFFLE
https://www.transanta.com/ 
@transanta

Transanta is a social media based mutual aid project that provides trans youth who are unhoused, in foster care or otherwise vulnerable living situations with crucial support. Using their instagram account they post holiday wishlists (with a corresponding amazon registry) so anonymous gift-givers can fulfill the needs of trans children and bring them some joy. It's a shining example of how uncomplicated and easy giving can be. 

With proof of donation, you can be entered into our holiday raffle and win something special from Otherwild! EMAIL DONATION SCREENSHOT TO  HELLO@OTHERWILD.COM

Stay tuned on social media and subscribe to our newsletter for full details.

If you're in Los Angeles you can drop by their annual HoliGAY Party, it's all ages and free. They will be accepting food and clothing items for their Free Store and/or their food drive, help them reach 300 items by 12/23!
