SoulBounce's inaugural Groove, Grab, Give: Pop-Up With A Purpose, a combination pop-up day party/holiday marketplace/food drive, happened the afternoon of Saturday, December 17th in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the season. Despite the day starting out with frigid temperatures and freezing rain, DMV Bouncers braved the ice and skated their way to Smith Public Trust to join us for our first-ever holiday event.

Our resident Mixologist dj harvey dent handled the groove part of the festivities with a soulful blend of cuts that sounded like one of his mixes come to life. Event attendees, vendors and Smith Public Trust patrons alike enjoyed the sounds from the pop-up day party while they shopped for Christmas gifts, sold their wares or watched football games on big screen TVs.

Eight Black woman-owned businesses participated in the Groove, Grab, Give holiday pop-up shop, including The Musichead Collection, New Vintage by Sam, Fearless Threads, Sunshyn Knits by Susan, Made By A Black Woman, Mahogany Cheers, Note 2 Self and Mercy Earrings. These female artisans and creatives sold a wide variety of one-of-a-kind products, handmade merchandise and fabulous pieces that made a statement to eager customers.

Many who attended the event heeded the call and brought non-perishable food items for our pop-up food drive to benefit AIDS Interfaith Residential Services, Inc. (AIRS). President and CEO (Interim) of AIRS Anthony Butler was on hand with a few of his team members to collect the items for distribution to needy families.

If you missed the first Groove, Grab, Give: Pop-Up With A Purpose, the good news is that we plan on having similar events in the coming months and will make Groove, Grab, Give an annual thing every December and may even expand to other cities. Stay tuned, keep bouncing and happy holidays!
