We are an all volunteer group of neighbors helping neighbors. Please review our main support offerings below and reach out to us with questions at lsmutualaid@gmail.com. Because we are volunteer-run, we will respond as we’re able. We are not a rapid response or crisis line.
Access Food
We support a free food and clothing store (contact for address) alongside other mutual aid groups on Thursdays 4-7pm & Saturdays 10-12:30pm. Please do not arrive significantly before the store opens.
We also offer biweekly grocery deliveries to neighbors. If you need support acquiring food, reach out to lsmutualaid@gmail.com.
Get Financial support
If you are seeking financial support, LSMA can help by reimbursing expenses up to $75 once a month. Submit a copy of a recent receipt to us and we will “refund” the money you spent to you. We cannot reimburse any request without a receipt or other associated documentation (such as a gas bill, rent bill, or grocery receipt). See detailed instructions here.
Expenses undergo two rounds of review and approval. First, a member of LSMA will review and approve the expense or ask for additional information. Then, a member of Hack Club will review the expense or ask for additional information. The first approval does not guarantee you will be reimbursed.
The Hack Club reviewer is not affiliated with LSMA. They are a third-party financial accountability functionary that is necessary to remain in good legal status with State and Federal Law and allow us to use Hack Club to store and distribute funds.
As of August 2023, expenses up to $75 will be approved once per month per family. If you need support with your submission, please email lsmutualaid@gmail.com.
