"WE ALL DO BETTER WHEN WE ALL DO BETTER" - Paul Wellstone

When a request for aid is made, we share it with our network of community volunteers who have offered services ranging from delivering groceries or medicine, providing transportation assistance, donating money, and so on. Then, we match the person who made the request with the volunteer who can provide support.

*This form is managed by Amada Marquez Simula and friends (amada.simula@gmail.com) and was created on March 15th, 2020*

The important disclaimer: We are simply neighbors helping neighbors. The aid provided comes from community support and solidarity, so we cannot guarantee to meet each request, but we will be trying our best to do so . We are not funded. We are not a government or medical agency. We are simply organizers connecting neighbors to neighbors who can help.

We are prioritizing those most vulnerable and affected by COVID-19 : the elderly, sick, disabled, quarantined without pay, limited in work, etc. This includes people who are frequently marginalized: homeless, undocumented, people of color, queer, and so on.

Some of the most affected and high risk people may not have access to the internet. Please help folks get to these resources. We're depending on people to be good faith actors. Don't request help if you don't need it. Please, we are trying to help those who need emergency assistance.

Consider becoming part of the support network by providing volunteer services to those affected by COVID-19:
