enter into the garden again this october for flowers+friends, an event raising funds for The Sameer Project:
‘The Sameer Project is a rapid-response initiative that is facilitating the sourcing and distribution of aid to displaced families all over the Gaza Strip. Started by 3 Palestinians living in diaspora and supported by ground teams in Gaza. We provide support in the form of shelter, medication and treatment, food, water, diapers, formula, and more. Our ethos is to promote resilience, maintain dignity, and providing agency for the families we serve. We are proactive and adaptable based on priority needs at any given time, implementing urgent and emergency response as needed.
We facilitate, our ground team executes, and we always defer to the needs of the people. Through our extensive network, we get the most competitive deals on bulk purchase of goods to distribute to families in need. We believe in creating an equitable chance at receiving aid so we provide assistance based on areas and encampments in most need. From the most destroyed neighborhoods in the North, to the overcrowded beach cities in the South, we respond where and how we are needed. ’ - Source

Outsavvy takes a 9-10% processing fee on each ticket.
after the event, we will share with you the total amount donated.
thank you for supporting The Sameer Project’s work in Gaza, Palestine.
accessibility ✿
there is one shallow step up to the door, and no internal steps. there is a deployable ramp for the entrance step if required. unfortunately, there is no wheelchair accessible toilet inside the venue. there is seating available all evening inside the bar area and the large outdoor smoking area. just send us a message if you’d like to know more.
whatsapp ✿
in the run-up to this event we will be hosting a couple of creative community workshops. we will mainly be sharing updates about these workshops via our WhatsApp group. if you'd like to receive further communication about these events and future happenings, we encourage you to join.
