Welcome to the Mutual Aid Central Ohio network! 

In this scary time, people are showing up for each other in amazing ways to collectively reduce the harm of this crisis.

Do you need something? Can you offer something?

(Hint: the answer is often both!)

​

A need is not a personal failure, but a collective responsibility.

  • Forums
    These forums are a way to communicate with one another and build community to meet our needs. There are forums to post your needs and offers (like food/water, employment, housing, etc.), forums for neighborhood-specific conversations, and forums for political actions. Click here to use the forums!
  • Facebook Group
    Similar to the forum, you can request to join the Facebook group to connect with one another and share resources. (Note: it is very easy for posts to get lost in this group, which is why we created the forum). Click here to go to the Facebook group.
  • Resource List
    This is a list for you to search through hundreds of resources that already exist in Columbus for you. Click here to find resources, and click here if you want to add something that's missing.
  • COVID-19 Central Ohio Support Fund
    Learning from other cities with effective COVID funds, we are now actively crowdsourcing funding to help meet people’s financial needs. To donate, click here or venmo us @mutual-aid-central-ohio! (Please note: Venmo requests won't be accepted at this handle.)
  • Neighborhood pods
    Are you and the people you live around already helping each other out in some way? If not, would you like to? If the answer is yes to either of these, get in touch! We’re looking to start supporting people who are creating or strengthening their neighborhood pods. 'Neighborhood pod' might be an unfamiliar term, but it's likely that if you are in contact with your neighbors, you already have a 'pod.' Click here for a good overview of how to build neighborhood pods.
