If you're looking for a way to get involved, organize, or if you need community right now, we're out here every Sunday from 2 to 3 at the intersection of Saddle Creek and Cuming. Look for the group of friends and neighbors having a cookout on the green. Come hang out!
It's Fall, which means the start of chili weather! Free Farm Syndicate has been providing lots of great produce and we even had a community volunteer crochet us some soap bags that can be used as washcloths! Not pictured in this September photo dump: the requests we fulfill
every other week, on top of the meal and hygiene supplies. A special thank you to everyone who donated to replace belongings damaged after the storms! We were able to replace 16 tents, 11 tarps, 20 ponchos, as well as assorted other requests thanks to your help. If you'd
Wednesday's windstorm tore through the entire city, bringing down trees, tearing siding off of houses, and strewing debris every which way. Our unhoused neighbors had to endure tornado-strength winds and severe downpour with minimal shelter. The storm destroyed tents, ripped 1/3

Wednesday's windstorm tore through the entire city, bringing down trees, tearing siding off of houses, and strewing debris every which way. Our unhoused neighbors had to endure tornado-strength winds and severe downpour with minimal shelter. The storm destroyed tents, ripped 1/3
tarps away, and soaked critical belongings, putting anyone who sleeps exposed to Nebraska's elements at risk.
OAA is asking our community to help us get new tents and tarps to replace those lost in the storm. We are asking for help reaching $500 before Sunday, which would 2/3

Thank you all for your support! We put everything we get back into distro. If you have cash to spare, you can Venmo/Cashapp us at OmahaAutonomous or set up a recurring donation on our Patreon. Or reach out to us to get involved!
Some photos from recent distros! We've been devoting a second cooler to ice and wet towels that people can use to cool off, as well as bringing extra sunscreen and water to help people stay protected during this extreme heat. Last week we had Greek salad and people grabbed
While most housed folks in our city own an air conditioner, a blackout like the one we currently face means that we need to look to alternate methods to keep ourselves cool and safe. Let evaporation cool you off, stay in as much shade as possible, and stay hydrated!
It's summer! We had watermelon and corn on the cob with hot dogs week before last at Street Kitchen, and Greek salad w/ chicken last week! We've also been providing sunscreen and electrolyte drinks to help people stay safe in the sun. Shoutout to @urbanabbey for supplying coffee!
As always, you all make weekly distro possible, and we are grateful for the community' trust and support. If you want to get involved, shoot us a message, or we take donations at OmahaAutonomous on Venmo/Cashapp and recurring amounts on our Patreon (link in bio). Thank you!
For the past two weeks, we've had menstrual supplies from @accessperiod to give out at Street Kitchen! This week, slaw salad and banana bread were on the menu. We also gave out requests last week and approximately 125 pairs of socks just today!
Really good distro today. Everyone left with at least one full plate of pasta, and smoked chicken legs! We also gave out a ton of socks and hygiene supplies! If you would like to contribute, visit https://t.co/upYTnSGMsl
stretch our funds as far as we can.
Thank you so much to the community! Please reach out to us if you want to volunteer or offer physical supplies, or if you have some spare cash, send it to OmahaAutonomous on Venmo/Cashapp or a recurring amount at https://t.co/L2oQkVcTLP
