Volunteer

We are 100% volunteer-run — and new volunteers are warmly welcome! If you can field phone calls, manage and pack supplies, make deliveries, or enhance relationships in the community, we want you to be part of Ward 4 Mutual Aid.

Contribute supplies

We regularly need supplies including diapers, personal hygiene kits, and more. We have limited space and can no longer accept children’s clothing and other household items.

Donate

We help anyone, no questions asked. To make that possible we depend on donations from neighbors like you. Donate today to support this work. In particular, monthly donations – no matter their size — help us resource our work predictably and are especially meaningful.
