January 1st 2026, through March 1st 2026, we are accepting non-perishable food & toiletry donations

Many individuals and families are facing uncertainty due to recent reductions in food assistance programs across the country. SNAP, WIC, and many other programs are seeing major cuts to their funding leading many people to lose some, if not all, of their benefits. At Hawthorn Body Art, we want to help fight food insecurity by collecting donations.


We are collecting items for The Starfish Project. This non-profit is dedicated to providing accessible resources for the community. They collect food & toiletry donations, as well as provide basic needs & dignity services for those who need it.

If you or someone you know is struggling to meet basic needs, please reach out to the wonderful people at the Starfish Project. Everyone deserves reliable access to resources, and Hawthorn is here to help our community through these difficult times.
