Angeline here, Happy Family's Co-Founder and Director.

I know times are tough right now, and money is tight. But we need your support to continue to grow and thrive, and to transform Happy Family into a more sustainable and equitable project for all involved. Most people don't realize we are a 100% volunteer-run organization.

That means everything we have ever made over the past two years—our epic annual festivals, our monthly radio show, our cookbook, our website—was made as a labor of love by people like you, who believe enough in Happy Family's mission to donate their time and talent. Myself included!

My long-term vision is to grow Happy Family into a more diverse, equitable, inclusive—and sustainable—organization, for generations to come. This fall, I began the process of learning how to transition Happy Family from a fiscally sponsored LLC into a cooperatively owned enterprise (a coop), collectively owned and managed by the community.

I'll share more about this journey in the coming weeks—including how to participate—but in the meantime, we need financial support to keep the wind in our sails. If you can afford to give, please make a donation today. No amount is too small, and every dollar donated is one more step toward building an equitable, sustainable, and resilient community—of which I am so thankful you are a part.

With Gratitude,

Angeline
