Who are The Fairy GayMothers?
The Fairy GayMothers want everyone to feel the magic of support and community. Along with confetti and bubbles, we sprinkle the island of Key West with joy, acceptance, celebration, random acts of kindness and the message you are loved. We understand that some people struggle to feel the sense of community and support that others experience, and so our focus is on assisting these groups. Through The Fairy GayMothers Community Initiatives we are able to provide an additional layer of support to the community members who need it most.
We know it takes an island and there are many people wanting to make a difference. It’s important for us to be able to support these members of our One Human Family so we can all make a meaningful impact within the community. We would not be where we are today without the support we’ve received from others. In addition to our own mission and initiatives, we provide support and fundraising assistance to other nonprofits, initiatives and community organizations to help them further their own missions and assist them in providing additional benefits to those they serve.
While our focus is on supporting our local community here in Key West, we are delighted when our magic is able to reach beyond our island to people and communities in other locations too.

Magic Meals
Creating the magic of community through food
We believe that everyone deserves to eat.
We live on an island of One Human Family, yet so many of our family and community members go hungry.
The Fairy GayMothers are partnering with local food establishments in the Magic Meals initiative.
A Magic Meal is a to-go meal provided to anyone who needs it, free of cost.
The Fairy GayMother’s will provide the seed money for the startup of the program (or an establishment can sponsor their own startup).
Participating establishments will then select the Magic Meal of their choosing and set their cost for that meal.
This meal is available free of charge for those in need, no questions asked.
The meal may also be purchased by those who want to pay it forward to self-sustain the establishment’s participation in the program.
Magic Meals are now available at The Southernmost Pint Brewpub
Location: 522 Front St, Key West
Magic Meal Hours: Daily from 11am-8pm
Together as a community, we can make sure that everyone eats.
Birthday Sprinkles Boxes
Because everyone deserves a little magic in their life
The cost of living on the island is increasing at an alarmingly high rate and many of our One Human Family members struggle to survive. This often leaves very little, if anything, to be spent on the sprinkles that can add a little extra magic to a special day.
So many in our community, do not get to experience the small things that can make a birthday extra special.
The Fairy GayMothers want those celebrating to feel seen and loved on their special day and for their families and loved ones to feel their community supporting them.

Because we have a lot of people doing good work on this island and we want to help spread the word
We know a lot of people in our community are struggling with food insecurity and the rising costs of living. So as our Magic Meals locations are just starting to appear in town, we wanted to also make a list of the other Food Resources that are available for our island family.
Please feel free to download and share this list of resources with anyone you think may need or benefit from it and please let us know if there are new resources to add or if we need to update any information on it.
