Care Week 2026 is dedicated to giving our neighbors ease.

Those who work in mutual aid , volunteers, working parents, educators, nurses, and caretakers. A lot of them experienced funding cuts to their work over the last year to which they responded by protecting the most vulnerable and continuing vital work in their communites.

We invite you to join us in giving them ease. We have matched each caretaker with a holistic healer and are raising funds to provide massages, acupuncture, manicures, pedicures, and sound baths. These services will be provided by small businesses and we would like to pay each of them instead of asking anyone to donate their time or services.

We are kicking off this fundraiser with a day party at SALON on July 26th and will be accepting donations through Aug 2nd.

Our party is inspired by the Sunday family gatherings we grew up with and the energy of Los Sures. Doors will be open all day, music spilling onto the street, our signature agua de jamaica with a little piquito and the snacks you always see at our events (spicyyyyy). Pop in, bring a friend, and love up on the community for a bit. 

Here’s a donation link but honestly, we prefer to see your faces so pop in and donate IRL. <3
