mutual aid
Everyone has different needs and different abilities at different times – and in different forms! We are an all-volunteer, grassroots mutual aid group operating in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. The only way we can meet the needs of our community is if we all step up to meet the demand for support.
If you’re looking to get involved, we organize our weekly volunteering via email, on social media, and on Slack. To get looped into our Slack, fill out the Chicagoland Food Sovereignty Coalition (CFSC) Volunteer Form. To get weekly emails with our opportunities, join the Logan Square Mutual Aid Google Group.
