Get Help
We are an all volunteer group of neighbors helping neighbors. Please review our main support offerings below and reach out to us with any questions at lsmutualaid@gmail.com.
We support a free food and clothing store alongside mutual aid groups across Chicago's northwest side. We also offer biweekly grocery deliveries to neighbors. If you need support acquiring food, reach out to lsmutualaid@gmail.com.

If you are seeking financial support, LSMA can help by reimbursing bills up to $75 once a month. Submit a copy of a recently paid bill to us and we will "refund" the money you spent to you.
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 Open Collective to store and distribute funds.
We cannot reimburse any request without a receipt or other associated documentation (e.g., a gas bill or a rent invoice). If you don't have a receipt or other documentation, please email lsmutualaid@gmail.com.
As of August 2023, expenses up to $75 will be approved once per month per contributor. Submit an expense for reimbursement here.
If you need additional money or help, please email lsmutualaid@gmail.com. If you cannot submit a request to Hack Club, please email lsmutualaid@gmail.com.
