Mutual Aid Community Table January 30th

1/21/2021

 
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. 

Donations: We are seeking donations of non-perishable food (canned fruit and vegetables, grains, etc), winter clothing, and diapers/baby items. If you would like to contribute, please reach out to us at MinerMutualAid@gmail.com.

Volunteers: We need volunteers to assist with set-up, distribution, and clean-up. To register as a volunteer, please click here to be taken to our Signup Genius page, or reach out to MinerMutualAid@gmail.com.

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:
  • Assisting with food donations
  • Planning/staffing events
  • Providing ongoing financial support

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  MinerMutualAid@gmail.com to learn how you can support this work.

In solidarity,
The Miner Mutual Aid Team
