Pandemic Pals Mutual Aid Board + Resources
To post a request, you can fill out the Aid Request form below.
We know not everyone will get the help they request, but we want our community members to have the opportunity to ask, give, and receive help.
If you are financially secure and want to help someone who is struggling, please pick a hardship to address and donate by using the contact information provided in the need request.
Please use our update form to indicate when you have received assistance. Promptly indicating that your request has been fulfilled will allow someone else to get the assistance they need. We hope you will participate in the spirit of solidarity to help us keep this page updated and useful to our community.
Requests that have not been updated after one month will be removed. If your request has not changed but you would like to keep it posted, please use the update form to let us know.
Disclaimers: This list is not vetted. We do not have the capacity to vet requests nor do we wish to cause additional stress or safety risk to those struggling by intruding on their lives. Since we are not managing these requests, there is a chance that someone will post an ask that is not framed honestly. We believe helping people during this difficult time is worth the risk.
We ask that you carefully consider which information to include in your request and in your communication with one another to fill requests. Protect your personal information and safety to the best of your ability, and remember that this is a public space on the internet.
Please exercise caution and be sure to know your local housing laws and rights, when arranging housing agreements within the community. Document conversations and keep them for your records, and vet housing offers with other community members who know the person well. We are not endorsing any offers on this list - it is 100% community-based aid.
We are not facilitating the fulfillment of any of these requests. We are simply offering an organized place to allow people who have unmet needs to connect with people who have resources. We hope you find it helpful.
