Q***r Family Hang is BACK! 🌈

Join us Saturday September 26, 10-11:30am at Rutabaga's BRAND NEW location, 3301 Scotts Lane in East Falls (corner of Scotts and Crawford).

This is kicking off a monthly series, so mark your calendars! All are welcome.

We're so excited to welcome special guest facilitator DJ McGowan, LPC, who will be guiding us in movement play at 11:00am.

This hang is hosted by the wonderful Emma Shakarshy, LCSW. Bring your beautiful q***r family and come play with us!

Rutabaga family, we're celebrating the first week in our new home the best way we know how: with pints and a purpose! 🍻

Join us Thursday, Sept 24th from 5pm to 8pm for a Fundraiser Night at Wissahickon Brewing Co, right down the road from us. They're donating proceeds from select brews straight to Rutabaga 2.0.

And it's Trivia Night too, starting at 7pm. Let's bring our A-game and raise a glass (and some funds) for your local toy library. 🧠

Kids welcome, neighbors welcome, everyone welcome. See you there!

🌈 THE RUTABAGA SILENT AUCTION IS OPEN 🌈

Just 8 days until our Grand Opening, and the vision we've been dreaming about for so long is finally coming to life, all thanks to YOU. This community has shown up for us in ways that genuinely leave us speechless.

Including our Silent Auction Fundraiser, officially live now! Our neighbors and local businesses donated everything from a day of painting to tattoos to donuts. THANK YOU to every single person and business who donated an item. You are what makes East Falls, East Falls.

We're currently at 70% of our fundraising goal, so close we can taste it, and every bid gets us that much closer to opening our doors (and keeping them open!). Every bit truly helps!

Want to see the goods in person? The auction items will be on display at Supporter Night, our Member Preview, and Grand Opening, so come take a look and place your bids.

A few things you can win:
📸 A family photo session with Andrew Piccone
🍩 gift card & mug from Dottie's Donuts
💇‍♂️ A haircut at The Artist House
🎨 A tattoo gift card from Frequency Tattoo
🌱 A year of compost pickup from Bennett Compost
