We don’t own mutual aid & are always thrilled to share our learnings & connections with others looking to bring decentralized care to their communities.
It's a beautiful Sunday on this fine long weekend and we're making the most of it by spending the day deep cleaning your community fridge, replacing some broken parts and inviting food donations! Won't you pay the fridge a visit too? 🙏🏾
Oh, and we're on Twitter! ✨
