Indiana mutual aid

Saturday shifts and direct aid

Join local neighbors packing grocery boxes, tutoring grade-school math, or hauling brush this weekend. No training courses or paperwork required—just show up in work gloves.

Immediate needs

Three ways to help

Every weekend run is organized around three practical tasks. Pick the shift that matches your weekly schedule and physical comfort.

Pantry food packers

After-school math tutors

Neighborhood cleanup drivers

Sort fresh produce, unbox canned goods, and stack shelf-stable groceries into family food parcels every Thursday evening and Saturday morning.

Sit with local grade-school students at community tables to work through weekly math homework, reading assignments, and spelling practice.

Bring a pickup truck or utility trailer to haul brush, load bulky alley scrap, and transport yard waste to municipal compost sites.

From the depot

We do not ask for paystubs or run credit checks before handing someone a box of groceries. We pack the food, load the car, and tell them to come back next week if they need to.
