  • A Harvest Sale in October that benefits the World Wildfire Fund.
  • Spark of Love Toy Drive, sponsored (and picked up) by the Santa Monica Fire Department, in December.
  • In February, with extra World Wildlife stuffed animals bought with the proceeds from the Harvest Sale, we assemble care packages for Project Night, providing a blanket, book, and stuffed animal to homeless children in Los Angeles shelters.
  • In March, we facilitate a Toms shoe painting party for African play costumes to benefit children worldwide without shoes, through Toms' buy a pair, give a pair campaign.
