Mutual Aid Event: Decorate Birthday Giftbags with New Hope Community Food Pantry
Past event
About This Event
Give back while meeting other readers!
New Hope Community Food Pantry is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emergency food assistance to individuals and families in need serving the northwest side of Chicago since 2004.
To make the day a little more special, New Hope has a tradition of giving out decorated giftbags to their clients on their birthdays. They're currently running low and they need the help of the Goblin Market crafter community to make a new batch!
They will also be accepting donations of cake mix, canned frosting, and birthday candles. Bring something to donate, and you'll be entered into a special raffle for a prize from Goblin Market!
Plain white bags and the paintpens and other supplies to decorate them will be provided.

Bring Your Own Manga Book Club
Bring whatever you've been reading, whether that's manga, light novels, manhwa, and more. We'll talk about what we've been into, swap recommendations, and just hang out. Come as you are :D Meets on the first Sunday of each month. This book club is presented by Chicago Anime Hangouts.
Silent Book Club: Solo RPGs & Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
Grab that solo RPG, journalling game, or Choose Your Own Adventure book you've been meaning to get around to actually playing (or pick up a new one at Goblin Market beforehand!) and meet us at Beermiscuous for a more social solo-gaming experience. We'll also bring a selection of games from our library with us for you to borrow. Like most silent book clubs, there will be time before and after to chat and mingle. Get there at 5:30 to say hi and get yourself a drink, then at 6 we'll have a dedicated hour of silent gaming.
Trans Occultist Meetup
This is a place for trans occultists of all traditions to share experiences and knowledge with one another. Pagans, witches, chaotes, Luciferians, esoteric Christans, Thelemites, African Diaspora practitioners, and everybody else. If you practice magick and consider yourself some sort of non-cisgender, you are welcome. You are also welcome if you are just questioning your gender, and if you are merely magickally curious. Do not worry about not being trans enough or magickal enough. First Thursday of each month, 7pm-10pm
