We are preparing for a very special Winter Solstice event. We hope you can join us on December 22, 2013, from 11am-1pm at the Malcolm X gym for potluck, community, and informal singing of some of our favorite songs, winter-themed and otherwise. Bring some food and drink to share. We’ll also celebrate the spirit and practice of giving with a Musical Offering (a piece of music created especially for this event) wherein we create 50 care packages, to be distributed to homeless youth in the East Bay.
Please Join Us
We hope you can participate in this special event, either by attending or by enabling others with your donations. You can donate through PayPal with the button below (funds donated before December 22 will be earmarked especially for this event).

Our goal is to create 50 care packages, each with an approximate cost of $40, to be distributed to youth through YEAH! Berkeley and Youth Spirit Artworks.
