Season's Greetings,

This Giving Tuesday please consider a donation to Crown Heights Mutual Aid. We are a completely volunteer-run network in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, that came together at the height of the pandemic last year to meet the emerging needs in our community. This means that 100% your donation will go directly to those in need.

Since spring 2020, CHMA spent over $550,000 providing assistance to the Crown Heights community. Here's just a short list of what we were able to accomplish with that funding:

Personalized grocery shopping for those facing food insecurity
Direct cash assistance to help with outstanding utility or medical bills
Regranting to other grassroots organizations in Crown Heights, such as Brooklyn Eviction Defense
Counseling and financial assistance for people facing domestic violence or housing insecurity
Legal assistance for those facing illegal evictions or other tenants’ rights issues
Help with scheduling vaccination appointments
Regular check-ins with neighbors who are isolated and need someone to talk to

To help us continue this work, please consider making a recurring donation to Crown Heights Mutual Aid today.

As always, no donation is too small—if you are able to help but can only make a one-time contribution here using a credit or debit card, and the donation is tax-deductible.

As we look forward to 2022, CHMA is hoping to deepen the community ties we have created to build an enduring organization that can help address the intersectional problems of racialized income inequality, climate change, and food and housing insecurity. As we increasingly move away from emergency relief, we will be planning more events that link food provision with community organizing around tenants’ rights--a vital issue in the rapidly gentrifying Crown Heights neighborhood.

Thank you so much for helping us grow our community! If you’d like to get more involved with CHMA please DM us on Instagram and we’ll set you up with an orientation.

Happy Holidays from everyone at CHMA to you!
