The Coronavirus pandemic has turned lives upside down and made it difficult for people to get to the grocery store, pick up prescriptions, and socialize in a safe manner. In response, mutual aid groups have popped up around the country to support those in need.
Mutual aid groups are informal groups of volunteers that band together to find effective ways to support those people most in need who live in their local community. Mutual aid can include picking up groceries, providing financial assistance, or lending emotional support to your neighbors.
To start helping:
- Find a mutual aid group in your area using the map below.
- Go to group’s page.
- Reach out to that group directly.
