The Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) recently hosted a fundraising art show to support refugees, featuring the work of renowned artist Mentwab Easwaran.
ECDC has been deeply impacted by recent cuts to federal support for immigrants and refugee resettlement. Any help you can offer to further their good work will be greatly appreciated. You can donate here.

From the Kindness Activist announcement: "Kind kids are our kind of kids, and June Bug is one of the kindest! In 2024, June Bug dreamed up the idea to have a hot cocoa sale as a fundraiser for Kindness Activist. It was amazing and very successful. There was tasty cocoa, marshmallows, whipped cream, loads of fancy toppings, and lots of fun people to chat with. She is back with a sequel - and this time with no front teeth! Please join June Bug and lots of her friends and come out to support Kindness Activist. Guests can choose a mug from the collection to fill and take home, or a paper cup to use and recycle (per June Bug). All goodies are "pay what you wish", with proceeds going to Kindness Activist to help on the mission to SPREAD KINDNESS! June Bug already has some terrific kind ideas on how to use the money she raises."
It was a lively fun event with great family-oriented neighborhood participation.
May kindness reign.
