| Hi there, In a year of tremendous hardship, one of the most inspiring trends we’ve seen is the emergence of mutual aid hubs—simple networks that identify the needs within a specific community and look for volunteers to help meet them. Volunteers find out what neighbors need—like a prescription pick up, groceries, or PPE—and organize to provide that service.
Your community could use a hand. If you’re in the U.S., connect with your local mutual aid hub to see what your neighbors need—and how you can help. If there isn’t a mutual aid hub in your area, consider starting something powerful for your community. Putting a pop-up lending library or community fridge in your neighborhood can make a difference in the lives of your neighbors.
Pledge to take the latest #OFCareChallenge, and find tips to help you start a mutual aid project of your own.
It will take all of us working together to get through these next few months. Help ensure that you and your neighbors are well-prepared this holiday season.
Take care of your community,
—The Obama Foundation |
