Monetary Donations
 
$713 - Raised at the first ever Stop The Bleeding benefit show and donated to the Sancta Maria House, an independently run and funded temporary shelter for women in Boston.
-$16 - "STB Metal" - long story short - first and last time we pay for a venue.
$201 - Raised at "Acoustic 2" and donated to the Sancta Maria House
$667 - Raised at "The Rock Show" and donated to The Renewal House, a domestic violence shelter in Boston.
$346 - Raised at "The Rock Show 2" and donated to the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter.
$250 - Raised at "Acoustic 3" and donated to the Bread and Jams Day Shelter in Harvard Square.
$100 - Raised at "The Rock Show 3" - this money has been used by Stop The Bleeding to purchase 100 items of Winter clothing at $1 a piece, which we will be personally distributing to the homeless who are out in the cold this Winter.
$236 - Raised at "The Rock Show 4" - due to being really strapped financially, combined with the fact that we usually eat the cost of these shows ourselves, this show was designed to cover Stop the Bleeding's overhead for a couple shows. This is not something I do readily - in fact I've been railing against the idea since we started, but it became necessary this year, and it did actually accomplish what we wanted it too. Not a huge amount, but enough.
$506.50 - Raised at our first Reggae show, this money was used to buy clothing for 14 homeless veterans at the Matta Home, a homeless veterans shelter in Brockton. 
$603.50 - Raised at our first show of 2009 - "The Rock Show V" - for the Sancta Maria House in Boston. 
$134 - Raised at "STB Blues" - our first Blues show - and donated to the Bread and Jams Day Shelter in Cambridge. 
$576 -  Raised at "A Tribute To The Homeless", our first all tribute band show and donated to the Matta Home for homeless veterans.

$287.50 - Raised at our second tribute band show "A Tribute To The Homeless 2" and donated to Renewal House. 
$333 - Raised at "The Rock Show 7", this show was to help cover our costs, specifically to help us purchase a piece of much needed sound equipment for our future shows.

2011 Winter Clothing Drive
So today is October 14th, and after having put up Halloween decorations last night, I find myself contemplating Christmas decorations, which in turn has me thinking about holidays in general - family, friends, Maine, Thanksgiving, stuffing my face and watching football in a warm house. On the back side of that I find myself thinking about lack of money, complaining about lingering bills, people in Boston traffic, and my personal general lack of progress financially. At which point I think to myself that a lot of people would love to have those things to enjoy and those things to complain about as well, especially people who have pretty much nothing and live on the street. People who live on the street whether it's a beautiful Spring day or a brutal Winter night.
People we can help.
We are starting up our annual Winter clothing drive for Boston's homeless - any kind of clothing you have that you'd like to donate we'll take, especially Winter clothing items. Last year, for whatever reason, we had hardly any clothing donations - a record low for us actually, but regardless, we are relentless when it comes to this because it is one of the easiest and one of the most important things we can do to help the homeless - keeping them from freezing. 
So if you have any old coats, hats, or gloves you're thinking of donating, or maybe your stuff is still good but you'd really like to get something new for yourself, this is your perfect excuse. Let us know and we will gladly take whatever you've got, and we'll get it to those who need it.
Thank You
Peace
