Fostering solidarity, connecting neighbors
Many who come to our network live on the margins, experiencing challenges from housing to food insecurity, and lacking adequate support. We prioritize supporting these neighbors, fostering belonging and empowerment through mutual aid principles, reshaping narratives for a more equitable community.
As neighbors find support within our network, we witness the abundance they offer in supporting others, engaging in movements for change, and emerging as leaders in our network.
We believe that when neighbors come together, supporting one another through mutual aid, we create stronger bonds and resilient communities.
