Get Involved
Mutual aid is mutual.* Everyone has different needs and different abilities at different times - and in different forms! We are an all-volunteer, grassroots group operating in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. The only way we can meet the needs of our community is if we all step up to meet the demand for support.
Some of the needs LSMA works to meet include: picking up, sorting, and delivering food and collecting and redistributing money.

Please send us an email at lsmutualaid@gmail.com with your name and contact information and we'll get in touch! Currently, our highest priorities are participants in bag build on Fridays and delivery drivers on Saturdays. There are also a myriad of remote and in-person opportunities to contribute!
Support Us
You can make a one time or monthly donation to LSMA here.
On average, we use over two thousand dollars a month to provide supplemental items to any neighbor who requests them and direct cash assistance. Your donation allows us to meet expressed, direct community needs.
You can donate food, baby supplies, household supplies, and other goods directly by emailing us at lsmutualaid@gmail.com.
