About this Event

Join us and @buddyburnersyyc for a hands-on afternoon of buddy burner* building (including tutorial), zine folding, and conversations on the important ways we can all engage in cold weather harm reduction.


This is a free event with supplies included, but donations of:

• plain corrugated cardboard

• clean shallow cans (e.g. tuna or cat food tins)

• wax (e.g. old candles, beeswax, crayons, paraffin, etc)

• wicks

are encouraged!


The space is wheelchair accessible and masks will be available. Outside food and drink are welcome!


*Buddy burners are homemade, low-cost heat sources often made from cans, cardboard, and wax.
