Donate your art to the Peacetober auction
|
Hi Reader, As our Peacetober art-ivism challenge draws to a close, our hearts are full. So many people created moving and deeply meaningful drawings, paintings, poems, collages, crafts, and more for our daily prompts. Especially in a time when some assume that the "ceasefire" means things are fine in Gaza, your art is a powerful reminder of the need to speak truth and show continuing support and solidarity with our 25 families. I'll share some of the art below, but first, let's talk about our upcoming Peacetober auction! Donate items to the Peacetober auction Last year our Peactober auction raised $10,000 and it was the first time we were able to make a significant contribution to each of our 25 families at the same time.

How it works: Coffees for Gaza handles the auction site. The auction will be open from November 10 - 13. Auction proceeds will be divided among the 25 families are in relationship with.

You'll be responsible for the cost of shipping the item (if it's a physical item) or delivering it digitally. Got questions about donating items to the auction?

Hi Reader, When I first "met" Nourhan's family, it was through an Instagram video of her daughter Najat, then 4 years old, enthusiastically cooking in their tent.
