Support Our Efforts!

As a Woman and Queer-led organization, we strive to provide experiences that are inclusive, educational, and fun for all! We seek your support to sustain our cultural events, and programs that bring joy and representation to an intergenerational community.

Donate Today!

Our mission is to provide celebratory and educational experiences to individuals of all ages! Unfortunately, our efforts can only reach so far as we don’t count on corporate sponsorships or grants, even though we apply for them. Therefore, we look at our community, YOU, to support our efforts to create inclusive programs that we didn’t have growing up!

Donate now to help reach our goal for cultural programs!

Please purchase from our online shop this season to help us plan accordingly for the new year!

Salvies Who Lunch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to providing cultural experiences.

Bichitos & Bichitas Club

As an extension to our SWL brand of experiences, we launched our Bichitos & Bichitas Club in September of 2023 with a South Gate elementary school. Our goal with this program is to teach all children about Salvadoran and Central American art and culture. Classes include learning about Fernando Llort, printmaking, painting, and making Central American food!
