-
- All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
-
- Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
-
- Sending censored donation receipts to the moderator team is based.
-
- Moderator Pinning Rules:
a. Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
b. Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost to !main donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds (Example) along with other crowd or moderator compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example) so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
c. Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision as to whether or not they should donate.

Are you familiar with the Blanchet House? They're serving free lunch for another 45min or so, then dinner will be at 5pm.
They're good people and open most days. https://blanchethouse.org/free-food-meal-services/

Today I started going to this lunch thing that’s currently being hosted at a Quaker church. The food was actually pretty good.
While I'm non-religious myself, churches are one of the earliest forms of mutual aid post-agricultural revolution. If that church was welcoming to you and helped ease your burden, I hope you deepen your bonds with the people there.
If they end up too religious for your taste or just don't align with your beliefs as well as you'd hope, there's countless churches out there, and there's even non-religious ones, too. I hope you'll find a community worthy of you (IRL)
