Mission
Mutual Aid NYC aspires to make information about mutual aid groups and resources easily available and accessible to all, especially for New Yorkers in need and for groups providing services and support within New York City. We aim to be a platform for groups to share their work with the public and each other while helping to build and strengthen a network of mutual aid efforts throughout New York City by connecting people to local resources and groups.

Actively listen to our communities to pinpoint real needs and enable each other to address them through trust and reciprocity.
