On March 18 2020, I put out a call on Instagram offering pet portraits in exchange for donations to charity. I suggested No Kid Hungry, which was working to feed children during pandemic school closings, but respondents donated to dozens of different charities that directly support their communities: local food pantries, closed restaurants, and healthcare workers. After a few days, hundreds of people had answered the call and donated thousands of dollars to charity.
This project raised over #4,000 for charity.
