I have to say I wish I thought of this, but alas I did not. The important thing is what will benefit from this. Cara Soulia, a photographer in Massachusetts, started this project in her hometown and photographers worldwide have raised over $1,000,000 for their local community programs!

While I have completed the project, if you would still like to donate, these are the programs I selected to receive donations:

1.) A GoFundMe campaign for local food bank, Fulfill.

2.) The Cul+ure Collective for the staff at Asbury Park bar/restaurants Barrio/Reyla/Laylow. I chose this charity as these are favorite locations for my husband and me on date nights and my girlfriends and me on nights out!

3.) The Smith Relief Fund, for staff of Asbury Park restaurants Porta, Pascal & Sabine, Brick Wall, etc. Smith Group has fully closed, no takeout, so any help they can receive would be beneficial. You can donate directly to them.

When sharing on social media, please do the following:

1.) Tag @thefrontstepsproject and myself, @megankhichiphoto, on Instagram. On Facebook, you can find my photography account (Megan Khichi Photo) or personal page (Megan Khichi).

2.) Hashtag #thefrontstepsproject and #thefrontstepsprojectocean. Please make sure to add the ‘the’ in your hashtag!
