We’ve been organizing mutual aid in the Bronx for years. This spring, at our neighbors’ request, we went weekly. Every Saturday, no matter what.

In our first month, we fed over 1,000 neighbors out of our own pockets, apartments, and kitchens.

Monthly donors are how we keep showing up every Saturday.

What we do every Saturday:

• Hot meals, cooked fresh
• Fresh produce, fruits, vegetables
• Clothing for men, women, children
• Shoes, jackets, winter gear
• Survival supplies: tents, sleeping bags, blankets
• Toiletries and hygiene
• Harm reduction, including Narcan
• Books for kids and adults

All free. No paperwork. No ID required.

What it costs:

• Storage: $300/month
• Hot food: $65/week
• Water (100+ bottles): $50/week
• Supplies (bags, plates, gloves, trays): $135/week
• Gas for pickup runs: $50/week

Where we are now:

We’ve met every need so far, but we’re at our limit. Everything we distribute is stored in our own homes: folding tables against bedroom walls, bags of clothes in hallways, boxes of produce in kitchens. Organizers are covering supplies out of pocket. Volunteers are buying ingredients with their own food stamps to keep the hot food running.

We need storage space near the park and help covering the weekly costs.

The strongest way to support this work is becoming a monthly donor.

Monthly donors are how we plan past next Saturday.

Every dollar goes directly back into Saturday distro.
