Punk Rock Saves Lives (https://www.punkrocksaveslives.org/) is an organization I’ve donated to in person when I’ve encountered them at music festivals and concerts over the years (which is OFTEN if you know me). A DIY non-profilt of volunteers found at most loud noise events, where they collect cheek swabs for the bone marrow registry to fight blood cancers and disorders; hand out harm reduction supplies like naloxone (Narcan), test strips, earplugs, and emergency contraception; and create safe spaces at these events to help promote mental health support.

WDIY FM (wdiy.org) is the listener-supported community-led public radio station in the Lehigh Valley, providing a wide-ranging exchange of news, music, arts, and culturally diverse information. I have been an on-air volunteer for ATC and Weekend Edition, and also donate my production skills & time for underwriting spots, annual Shakespeare festival promotions, and annual cash amounts.

The mission of Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania (https://shfblv.org/) is to obtain food and distribute it to people in need through area nonprofits and to provide resources for education and advocacy to end hunger. This is a local chapter of the larger organization, where my family donates both foods and cash annually to help with food insecurity in our area.
