Mutual Aid — Offering: emotional support // For: volunteers, elders // Location: non-specific
Welcome to the Philly We Rise mutual aid and resource directory! We put this site together to centralize the many mutual aid efforts, both across Philadelphia and across the country, that were created in response to COVID-19 as well as the uprisings protesting the murder of George Floyd, police violence, and systemic racism.
We know it is more important now than ever for us to come together as a community and care for each other. In our directory of resources you’ll find both mutual aid efforts and resource guides. Mutual aid includes everything from neighbors delivering food to those in need to organizations giving out grants, and many list ways to volunteer and donate as well as receive mutual aid. The resource guides are comprehensive and detailed lists of funds, resources, opportunities, advice, and more, and include both city services and community-gathered information.
If you have a question or a suggestion for a new resource, use the contact form at the bottom of the page.
