Operating out of Quincy, Massachusetts, the Prison Book Program sends books directly to incarcerated people in all 50 states, all free of cost. We regularly volunteer at the program picking, invoicing, and packaging books to be sent to our readers. We'd love for you to donate to the program in honor of our getting married (and ask us about the program, too, we'll talk your ear off). Feel free to donate directly, also: https://prisonbookprogram.org/

Oy Vey is an Amsterdam based inclusive Jewish organization that creates space for modern Jewish life in the Netherlands. It's how John and Tessa got in contact with our incredible officiant Lievnath, who is the executive director of the organization. We're incredibly grateful for the work the group does. To learn more or donate directly, you can also visit their website at https://oyvey.nl/en/

Clean Shelter is a humanitarian organization that helps organize access to clean water, sanitation, and shelter in Gaza. John and Tessa had the privilege of hearing Israeli and Palestinian cofounders Tom and Seba speak about the organization's mission last year, and are inspired by their work. You can learn more and also donate directly on their website at cleanshelter.org

We love getting coffee and pastries at this neighborhood cafe & baking supplies store.
