PUNK WITH A PURPOSE
This isn't just a show.
A Punk Clown Takeover is a mutual aid benefit for Sonoma County Acts of Kindness, a volunteer-run Sonoma County nonprofit providing basic necessities, resources and advocacy for unhoused and financially underprivileged members of our community.
Their volunteers distribute meals every day and provide necessities including hygiene supplies, clothing, tents, tarps, sleeping bags and cold-weather gear directly to people who need them.
