Aurora Commons

On Saturday, May 2, neighbors across Seattle are taking a moment to say hi, share a laugh, or do something kind - no big plans, no pressure. Just showing up for each other.

We’d love to see you at the Commons Saturday, 5/2, from 10 AM–12 PM for coffee, donuts, and a small supply drive for our neighbors. We’ve had to scale back some of our food and program supplies recently, so every bit helps.

If you’re able, consider bringing:
• New men’s boxer briefs (M, L, XL)
• Women’s underwear (bikini or boxer-style, all sizes)
• Tampons or pads
• Shelf-stable snacks (Cup-O-Noodles, instant oatmeal, protein bars)

Come by, grab a cup of coffee, and connect with neighbors. We’d love to have you. ❤️

Join us Tuesday, April 28, from 2–3:30 p.m. as we gather to remember neighbors we’ve lost. We’ll share stories, honor their journeys, and celebrate the friendships that connected us. 💛

We’re currently looking for support with food for this gathering. If you’re able, please email [email protected] to:

• Bring store-prepared snacks or appetizers to share

Your support helps make this space of remembrance and connection possible.

Let’s show up for our neighbors.
