The Miner Mutual Aid Network will host our first Community Table of 2021 on Saturday, January 30 from 11am–2pm in the Miner parking lot. We will once again feature free food boxes, winter clothing, and PPE for any member of the community in need.
This event is open to the entire Miner community and we encourage everyone to come out and support one another. Masks and social distancing will be required.

Support Miner Mutual Aid: We Are Stronger Together We are so excited to share that this January marks SIX MONTHS of supporting our community through mutual aid. We have been busy in the past half-year, and it's all thanks to the generous support of people like you. We are also growing! Our December Community Table provided food, PPE, flu shots, and other necessities to over 100 community members. We hope to continue offering support at this level, but we need your help. Our goal is to create connections, one person at a time, to form a network of solidarity. To achieve this goal, WE NEED YOU! We’re looking for a dedicated corps of volunteers who can commit to one or more of the following:
If you love Miner, if you've been looking for a way to give back to your community, if you want to get to know your neighbors, the Miner Mutual Aid Team is looking for you! Please reach out to us at [email protected] to learn how you can support this work. In solidarity, The Miner Mutual Aid Team Dear Miner Family:
Last week a violent attack occurred in our neighborhood. Mere blocks from Miner Elementary an insurgency took place at the U.S. Capitol. The Miner Community, led by the Equity Team, PTO, and LSAT, has come together to write the below letter condemning this racist, hate-filled violence that took place in our front yard. Click here or any page below to download a PDF of the statement in English and Spanish. Miner's Green Team and the garden program are pleased to present Miner's January garden newsletter.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Lawson, Miner's FoodCorps representative, at [email protected]. Don't forget to follow the Miner Elementary Garden on social media - they can be found at instagram.com/minerelementarygarden. All families are welcome to stop by the Peace Garden anytime they're at Miner when the building and playground is open. On Saturday, December 19, Miner Mutual Aid held its final Community Table of 2020.
Thanks to the support of the Miner community, The Miner Green Team, Serve Your City and the Ward 6 Mutual Aid Network, Christ City Church, and the Miner Administration, the event provided:
Starting in June, these monthly events have provided critical support to our community. This assistance will not end with 2020 and we look forward to continuing to build a thriving mutual aid network for Miner and the surrounding neighborhood in the new year. As a reminder, if you need support or have support to give, please fill out the Mutual Aid Network intake form. A date for next month’s Community Table will be announced soon. If you are interested in donating, please email [email protected]. In solidarity, The Miner Mutual Aid Team |
