COMMUNITY IS BUILT BY THE HANDS THAT CARE

This Tuesday, we’re coming together to make a real difference. ❤️

Artist Alliance for Change is partnering with New Destiny Christian Church to serve and uplift our unhoused neighbors — and YOU are part of that change.

Every jacket donated.
Every pair of socks given.
Every hygiene item dropped off.

It all becomes dignity.
It all becomes hope.
It all becomes love in action.

We believe creativity changes cities… but compassion changes lives.

Let’s show Imperial Valley what unity looks like.

Let’s be the reason someone feels seen.

📍 Donations accepted 12PM–6PM
📅 Every First Tuesday of the Month

Together, we don’t just talk about change —
We create it. 🤍

Each day invites us to quiet the noise in our minds, pick up our tools, and create something—big or small. When we see the day as a work of art, we step out of our heads and into the joy of living.
