In February 2021, we stopped accepting new grocery requests while we worked through a backlog and began to shift the way we operate to better reflect a mutual aid model and not one of charity. We're currently piloting models for neighbors to support each other more directly and build in our community. Get involved! Help us work to strengthen our community and create lasting models of neighborhood mutual support!
