Please help us raise money for the SOMA Community!
Bindlestiff has pledged $2500 to various organizations and campaigns in SOMA to help vulnerable populations cope during the COVID-19 pandemic!
Special thanks to MOHCD and the Community Action Grant of the SOMA Community Collaborative for allowing us to reallocate $2500 towards COVID-19 relief. The original grantee, Ramon Abad, and his cast and crew graciously offered to divert their grant money for the Youth Puppetry Workshop to help our community fight the coronavirus. Thanks to everyone in the community for all the work you are doing to help keep us safe! Kapwa is stronger than COVID!
