What is Punks Giving?

Punks Giving was founded as a separate organization in August of 2020 with a mission to identify and unite positive resources in the punk and hardcore community for populations in need. In 2023, Punks Giving officially merged with Punk Rock Saves Lives as a program under their organization. The Punks Giving side of the organization focuses on direct community impact by coordinating distribution efforts that include food, clothing, shelter amenities, toys, personal hygiene products and other items to help those in need. This is done via direct community drives and distributions as well as coordinating with other organizations and groups. In addition, we encourage all individuals, whether they are doing it in the name of Punks Giving or not, to simply get out and give. Give of your time. Give of your talents. Give of your resources to help those in need. YOU ARE PUNKS GIVING!

What is Punk Rock Saves Lives?

Punk Rock Saves Lives (PRSL) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization using the power of music, to produce positive outcomes at shows, festivals, and events. We believe Punk Rock not only saves lives but also seeks to improve the communities and neighborhoods we live in by promoting positive messages of change.” This is done in 3 main ways: Mental health education, groups and resources, free harm reduction and community resources such as Narcan, test strips, emergency contraceptive and more. In addition the main and founding program of PRSL is by signing people up for the DKMS Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Registry at shows, festivals and events to increase the numbers and the likelihood that there will be a match for those fighting bone and blood cancers and disorders.
