Giving Machine

Have you seen the new giving machines at City Creek Center? It’s a unique way to give back to The Green Urban Lunch Box — vending machine style.

Transition Grants

Spread the word! Today, Nov. 30, is the last day to apply for transition grants from Genderbands. These grants help cover the costs of transition-related procedures from gender-affirming haircuts to top surgery.

Bake Sale

Alofa Fa’asamoa is holding a bake sale on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. to help support their work providing resources for the Samoan community in Utah. They’ll have oka (fish salad) and fai (green banana with coconut).

Momentum Climbing

Momentum Climbing in Sandy is accepting donations through Dec. 31. Drop off gently used winter clothing at the front desk or grab an ornament from their giving tree and buy gifts for those in need.
