I spy a pickle, a fried egg, and a bunch of people hanging out! Tomorrow’s Art Mart 11-7 in Peterborough is another chance to join with the community and bask in the joy of togetherness to benefit KMA. All put on by @gnomestudio.bsky.social

Something that helps out small charities a lot is recurring donations set up via paypal—$5 a month that always comes in is way more valuable than the $60 you may or may not remember to donate on Giving Tuesday. It doesn’t have to be a lot! Don’t feel bad if you can only afford $1 or $2 a month
