Thank You, SSP Community!

We are still riding the wave of love and support from the Wild Heart: Sunnyside Shower Project Fundraiser held on June 18th — and I am deeply, endlessly grateful.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of this community, we were able to raise nearly $6,000. That’s not just a number — it’s a transformative gift that will have a lasting impact on our ability to provide consistency in the gear, supplies, and support we offer to our most vulnerable neighbors. In a world that so often feels unpredictable and unstable, consistency is a big deal. It’s comfort. It’s dignity. It’s care.

This fundraiser also makes it possible for us to start outfitting our office — turning it from a bare-bones room into a warm, welcoming space where people can feel safe, seen, and respected. Vulnerability deserves softness, and now we can begin to create that environment.

To the 30+ artists and businesses who generously contributed to our silent auction and raffle – this simply would not have been possible without you. Your creativity, your energy, and your belief in this mission lifted this fundraiser beyond our hopes.

To everyone who came, shared, donated, or cheered us on — thank you. Your support is not only felt, it is deeply valued!
