Radical Kindness.
Accessible Aid.
For Everyone, Always.
We believe caring for our community is everyone's responsibility!
Welcome to the heart of Slingin Sunshine, a movement dedicated to disrupting the status quo with kindness and tangible support. Through shared meals, celebration bakes, and the simple magic of bubbles, we empower everyone to give and receive nourishment. Our mission is straightforward: to make mutual aid easy, joyful, and available to all ages.

More Than Just Bubbles: Slingshotting Aid into Action!
Mutual aid means directly supporting our community members without bureaucracy. Slingin Sunshine makes this happen through clear, tangible efforts, already distributing over 1,000+ meals and baking 500+ cookies in 2025 alone! This work is powered entirely by volunteers and donations. Your support directly funds:
Meal Giveaways
Care and Celebration Bakes
Event Facilitation
Free hot meals served regularly and
available to all community members.
Homemade meals and baked goods for community members grieving, growing, and going through life.
Partnering with local people who want
to make cool shit happen in their communities, but need help navigating the details.
