Mutual Aid Network Homepage
“A place to give, receive, and connect within the community.”
Welcome
This network is centered in Rochester, NY, U.S.A and surrounding communities, with the intention to grow beyond.
It exists to make support, resources, and connection more accessible.
This is a shared space built on reciprocity where people can give, receive, and collaborate in ways that feel genuine and sustainable.
You’re welcome to explore, participate, and contribute in ways that feel aligned for you.
We hope there’s something here for everyone!

About this Project
"It’s honestly impressive what a 30-something, burnt-out woman powered by sheer will, suppressed rage, frustration at the state of the world, and a questionable number of open tabs can create in their spare time.
I created this space because it became really clear—we need somewhere to connect, collaborate, and actually support one another. A lot of people need help, and the systems around us aren’t always able to meet those needs. But we still can.
This has been built on my own time, with my own money, and a whole lot of “I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway.”
If this space feels meaningful to you and you have the capacity, donations help keep this alive and growing.
And if your gift is tech support, web design, or gently saving me from myself—please, I welcome you with open arms. I would love to see this turn into a user friendly app! Thanks for being here. I hope this space helps all of us in this time of need <3"

With much love,

Special Acknowledgement
I want to take a moment to acknowledge and give respect to local communities, including the Native Americans who were negatively affected by colonization and displaced from their homes. I offer my condolences to anyone who have been impacted by racism, discrimination, or harm.
I honor and remember the spirits of this land and ask all of us to take a moment to be aware and reflect on this. If we are to return to reciprocity, we must first restore these relationships.
I give special thanks and recognition to the spirits, ancestors, and beings who have guided this work. I hope this brings us together in harmony and unity, and helps restore our connections to one another with grace.
In this spirit, I offer these words from the Hoʻoponopono prayer, a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and healing:
I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
