SEASONAL

SUPPORT

This season, many families in our community are feeling the impact of SNAP benefit cuts and rising food costs. At SheWolf, we believe in showing up for one another - especially when times are tough.

That’s why we’re organizing Seasonal Support - a way for our community to give and receive with dignity, love, and solidarity. Every SheWolf event this season will include a food and essentials drive, with donations delivered to Backpack Beginnings and similar local programs that directly support children and families across the Triad.

If you’re in need of help with groceries, meals, or basic necessities this season, please know you’re not alone.

If you’re in a position to give - through donations, volunteering, or simple acts of kindness - you can make a real difference.

Together, we can make sure every family in our community feels cared for this holiday season and beyond.

Please fill out the form below to share what would help most right now - whether it’s grocery support, a holiday meal, or essential items for your family. All information is kept confidential, and we’ll match requests with available community resources and donations. No questions asked.

SEASONAL SUPPORT PROGRAM FAQs

  • Every SheWolf event this season will include a food and essentials drive. You can bring:

    • Nonperishable food (soups, pasta, peanut butter, rice, canned fruits/veggies)

    • Baby supplies (diapers, wipes, formula)

    • Toiletries (soap, deodorant, feminine hygiene products)

    • Cleaning and paper products (toilet paper, detergent, paper towels)

    All collected items go directly to Backpack Beginnings or similar local programs.

  • All donations made through Venmo @shewolfco go exclusively into a dedicated fund for Seasonal Support and community aid initiatives.

    Funds are used only to:

    • Purchase groceries and essential items requested by families

    • Cover delivery costs (Instacart, Uber Eats, or volunteer delivery)

    We share transparent updates on the total raised, families helped, and what funds were used for. None of the donations go toward SheWolf’s operations or overhead.

  • We trust people to know what they need. Requests come through a simple, confidential form, and we prioritize households with children, elders, or those impacted by SNAP cuts.

    Our goal isn’t to gatekeep support - it’s to respond with compassion and dignity. We verify requests through conversation when needed, but we operate from a place of trust and transparency.

  • We love that idea - and we encourage it! SheWolf regularly partners with and supports nonprofits like Backpack Beginnings and the Interactive Resource Center (IRC).

    Our Seasonal Support program exists alongside that work. It gives our community a way to help directly and immediately, without the delay or red tape that sometimes comes with larger systems. Sometimes a family needs groceries today, and this program lets us meet that need fast—human to human, pack to pack.

  • Yes! We’ll keep the pack updated on:

    • The total amount in the fund

    • The number of families supported

    • What type of items or groceries were provided

    We protect family privacy, but you’ll always know how the collective impact is growing.

  • If you want to receive updates about current needs, fund totals, and giving impact, drop your email in the Want to Help form on this page.

  • Because we’re all part of this community—and this is what community looks like. When one of us is struggling, the rest of us step in. This program started with one woman’s kindness and is growing through the power of collective care.

We are about
impact and action.

Because community isn’t real if it’s not reciprocal.

SheWolf isn’t just about showing up for each other—we show up for the world around us, too. Every event, every purchase, every gathering you attend is designed with purpose. We believe that community care is activism, and giving back is part of the heartbeat of this wild, rebellious pack.

2025 Giving Report

Since day one, we’ve said this: we believe in using what we have to support the people doing good work in our communities. We’ve encouraged direct giving in our event descriptions, on our site, and in our content—so while we don’t track your direct donations, we trust you’ve been showing up in all the ways you can. We also pledge to give each nonprofit 15% of the swag sale profits of their designated month, and when we have paid events that have a little extra on top of supporting the small business hosting us, we add that on. This year, we’re still building and every dollar is stretched (swag is fun, but one-off production = slim margins) so transparently - the totals have been lower than we would have liked. We still wanted to honor the nonprofits we started with and model what it means to give anyway.

So we’ve contributed personal dollars and donated $100 to each of the nonprofits below.

  • April – The Family Room

    • A community hub providing essential baby items, support, and education for families in need and foster kids. We support them because every parent deserves a village and every child deserves a strong start.

  • Ladies Night (April) – Women to Women

    • An initiative of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro that funds programs improving the lives of women and girls. We rally behind them because investing in women changes everything.

  • May – The Kellin Foundation

    • A trauma-informed nonprofit offering counseling, advocacy, and prevention programs for children and families. We support their mission to help survivors heal and thrive.

  • June + July – Guilford Green Foundation

    • Supporting LGBTQ+ individuals through grants, community programs, and the Pride center. We stand with them in creating a Triad where everyone belongs exactly as they are.

  • August - NPR + PBS

    • Public media that educates, informs, and inspires. We give back to NPR and PBS because trusted storytelling and access to information are essential for strong, connected communities.

  • September - YWCA

    • Working to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. We support their long-standing commitment to equity and social change.

  • October - Siembra

    • A grassroots organization empowering Latinx and immigrant communities through advocacy and organizing. We believe in their vision for justice and representation for all people.

  • November + December - Backpack Beginnings + Our Seasonal Support Program (Venmo us and see above)

    • Providing food, comfort, and basic necessities to children and families across Guilford County. Alongside our own Seasonal Support Program, we collect donations, run drives, and direct funds where they’re most needed—because no one in our pack should go without and in real time, SNAP benefits are being taken away for those who need support most.

👉 How You Can Keep It Going:
 
If you’re in a position to give - even $5 - do it. To these orgs. Or to any cause you care about.
Let’s keep the give-back ball rolling, together. This community isn’t about performative impact—it’s about real ripples. And they start with us.
 
Thanks for being here. Thanks for giving. Thanks for caring.

Why give?

  • ✽

    Because we’re not here to play it safe.

    Because too many communities are still being left behind.

    Because we’ve benefitted from the work of those who came before us—and now it’s our turn.

  • ✽

    Because healing isn’t just personal—it’s collective.

    Because we believe in joy and justice.

    Because you can dance in your boots and still burn it all down for something better.

  • ✽

    Because women are more than consumers—we’re creators, disruptors, caregivers, and changemakers.

    Because we know that when women invest in women, everyone rises.

  • ✽

    Because we’re raising kids in this world.

    Because we’re unlearning the silence our mothers were taught.

    Because rage is a form of love, and love is a radical act.

  • ✽

    Because community without action is just a social hour.

    And we’re here for something deeper.

  • ✽

    We give back because it’s not just about being seen—it’s about seeing others.

    It’s about showing up with our hands full, our hearts open, and our eyes on a more just world.
