The Big Gift Exchange: Spring Into Joy

---

Send a package. Receive a package. Spread joy.

​This spring, we're inviting you to take part in a community gift exchange rooted in abundance, affirmation, and connection. The Big Gift Exchange: Spring Into Joy is a chance to share care, creativity, and joy with someone across the country—and receive a thoughtful surprise in return.

Whether you're gifting a favorite book, a local snack, affirmations, seeds, or something handmade, this exchange reminds us: we all have something beautiful to give.

🌷 Who Is This For? Everyone is welcome, especially:

• Black trans and queer folx
• Elders & disabled community members
• Single parents & their families
• Anyone who could use a little joy

💝 How It Works:

1. Sign up by May 10
2. Choose your giving range ($10–$100)
3. You’ll be matched with another participant based on budget + preferences
4. Send your package by June 1
5. Receive your surprise in return!

All addresses are kept private and only shared with your matched partner.

💌 What to Include: Books, local snacks, affirmations, poems, stickers, seeds, handmade art, city-themed trinkets, and other treasures. You can get playful, deep, nostalgic, or silly. This is about joy—not perfection.

​STEP Info Session #2: Building Across Generations

The Supporting Trans Elders Project (STEP) invites Black trans men and transmasculine folks ages 21+ to join us for a second informational meeting as we continue to build meaningful, reciprocal connections across generations.

Following a powerful and inspiring first conversation, we’re hosting this next info session to welcome new folks, share updates, answer questions, and co-create a space that honors our collective wisdom, care, and community.

​Whether you’re an elder looking to share your experiences, or a younger brother hoping to connect and learn, this is an opportunity to step into something rooted and real.

📅 Date: Sunday, May 4, 2025
⏰ Time: 6pm EST/3pm PST
📍 Location: meet.google.com/jys-qwiy-nys


We’ll also share updates about our upcoming regular monthly gatherings, our interest pairing form, and our vision for mutual skill-sharing and support.
Come with your questions, ideas, and presence — let’s keep building.

Bring your folks! Invite someone you love.
Let’s make sure this space is full of our people. 💜✊🏾​
