We’re adults who have plenty of stuff. We don’t need more stuff. We have what we need and then-some. As such, we created an registry at SoKind that allows you to give non-tangible gifts that we’d especially appreciate. Please note that it, as well as the below, are works in progress and will be updated.
If you would like, please donate to the following organizations, which are doing vital work that is important to us:
- RAICES is the largest provider of immigrant legal services in Texas and provides low-cost legal assistance to immigrant families, children and refugees.
- Fair Fight is an organization (founded by Stacey Abrams) that works to address voter suppression.
- Planned Parenthood provides health care to women across the country.
- Kids in Need of Defense for over a decade has been representing unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children in their deportation proceedings and connects children and their families to social services.
- 350.org is building a global movement to take action against the existential crisis of global climate change.
- The Cancer Research Institute funds innovative treatments for cancer, partnering with researchers, supporters, patients and advocates to fund scientists doing the most promising research. CRI funded the scientists who developed the HPV vaccine, the best preventative measure against cervical cancer ever developed.
- The Voter Participation Center works to increase voting registration among Americans, specifically unmarried women, people of color and young people.
- Casa Ruby is an LGBTQ bilingual and multicultural organization in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area that provides social services and programs catering to the most vulnerable in the city and surrounding areas.
- Give Directly provides money to people who need it. No strings. Because it makes sense to you—and research backs it up—that people who need money know best what do with it.
If you donate, please let us know on SoKind so we know who you were.
Okay, if you must—must—buy us a something that we can touch and use, here’s a registry on Bed Bath & Beyond that has some stuff that the Wirecutter says we absolutely need.
Finally, and we cannot emphasize this enough, if you get us a another cheese board, we will drop it off on your doorstep immediately on receipt.
