Here is our ‘usual’ needs lists and the kinds of non-food items we share at the picnic every week.
We have multiple ways to donate- DM us if you have resources to share! ♥️ by @holdingheartsbloc

And so it begins. The cold nights are upon us and we need your help to keep our neighbors warm! Please go through your storage and give us the blankets you are not using. A blanket can generate the warmth that can keep one of our unhoused neighbors alive- it really is that serious. ♥️ by @holdingheartsbloc

Oh my gosh, thank you so much @miwasoto for dropping off so much food for us to cook for @holdingheartsbloc mutual aid picnic! There are many meals in this pile. For people and pets!

If you ever want to help in mutual aid and can’t show up on picnic day, then you can drop food or cooking supplies to us. One of my friends bakes bread and drops pork and grab n go items each week, or food they cook earlier in the week that I just reheat.
