HODG Santa Cruz

Welcome to the Santa Cruz Chapter of HangOutDoGood!

We are a group of neighbors, friends, and family banding together to build a better town, state, and country– and have fun while we do it! We host BBQs and write our reps, join beach clean-ups and protests, make sandwiches for the unhoused, and will do any other action that advances a more connected, loving, and just Santa Cruz.

Join our grassroots movement! We need you.

About Us

We're Cori (they/them) and Gwen (she/her) Wolfland. We live in Santa Cruz, California. Gwen is a pediatrician in town, Cori is a business strategist. We started the HODG Santa Cruz chapter in March 2025 as a countermeasure to the fascist fracturing of our nation. We wanted to do something that would get people together while also doing good: cleaning beaches, writing letters to our reps, supporting people in need, meeting up for protests, etc.

We'd already been doing a few things, like running Pie for the People, but wanted to do more and get people together more often. HODG was already doing exactly what we wanted to – joining forces made sense! We live in Seabright with our two kids (Eloise and Margot), our dog (Huckleberry), and our cat (Karl - though technically he moved to grandma's when the kids arrived but we miss him dearly).
