What’s decided, and what isn’t
- DecidedThe partner is Casa Pacifica, the same organization that received supplies for 70 children after our August giveback, and the pledge is 100 doves.
- DecidedGifts stay unwrapped and travel with their dove, so each one reaches the young person who asked for it. Gift cards go in a separate envelope.
- Still openDove pickup dates, the shopping and sorting day, and the delivery deadline, all of which follow Casa Pacifica’s 2026 holiday schedule.
Questions? Email us or DM @she.rises_collective.
Businesses: sponsor a set of doves
Ten doves, twenty-five, fifty: a business can put its name behind a whole set of wishes, by giving toward them or by shopping them as a team. With your permission, we thank sponsors by name on this page and on Instagram.

The 90s Summer Social
Our first gathering: two dozen women, childhood photos, heartfelt reflections, hibachi, a movie night, and a clothing swap that collected more than sixty pieces.
The Morning After
Donated with love
Every piece left from the swap was donated onward to women in our local community — generosity that kept going after the party ended.
