Rochester Mutual Aid Network

The Rochester Mutual Aid Network was started to help our community sustain itself. We're a cooperative network looking to connect people who are in need of aid to those who can offer it. When the pandemic hit, and the quarantine orders began, they hit a city that was already in crisis; poverty, homelessness, gentrification, and layoffs had already been a feature of life in Rochester for years. Drawing on the long tradition of mutual aid, we started the Network to build and sustain personal relationships with one another, neighbor to neighbor, and share our resources and talents generously. The Network is run democratically and transparently, composed exclusively of volunteers working together to create something resilient that will strengthen our community. What do we do? Right now the network, run 100% by volunteers, is focused on getting people food and personal supplies that they may not have the means to access. But requests do not need to be limited to those types of supplies. What will my donation do? Your donation will be put to use for direct aid only - that means we can purchase quality food, personal care supplies, cleaning supplies and more for those in our community in immediate need. Every month, the Rochester Mutual Aid Network delivers packages of food & supplies to our neighbors with only volunteer support. We rely fully on the donations of supporters like you to keep our network running. In times of crisis, people shouldn't have to worry about where help is going to come from. It's going to come from your community, so let's get to work. Note: The Rochester Mutual Aid Network (RMAN) is financially sponsored by 490 Farmers, all donations to RMAN will only be used for RMAN activities.
