Mutual Aid

According to Wikipedia, “mutual aid is an organizational model where voluntary, collaborative exchanges of resources and services for common benefit take place amongst community members to overcome social, economic, and political barriers to meeting common needs.” To put that in plain English, mutual aid is similar to charity and builds sustainable economies that don’t require money to operate, instead focusing on people giving what they can to those in need of what they’re giving, and also people receiving what they need (or desire if there is extra after needs are fulfilled). 

Mutual aid can be material needs, labor needs, or educational needs. Want to teach literacy skills in your community? Sign up to volunteer with us! Want to contribute your mechanical skills to doing an oil change for the elderly or disabled who can't afford to go to a shop? Sign up to volunteer with us! If you have something to contribute, or something you need, connect with your local REACH mutual aid group.
