Interested in Tabling?
If you are a mutual aid group, assistance program, food bank, school, or other non-profit organization and would like to participate, please fill out the participation form. We welcome you to table, provide a workshop, perform music or a direct service on-site, or just put up your organization’s flyers and info for others to contact.
If you are not able to get staff to table, please use the contact form, and we’ll grab some flyers or contact info to get you in contact with interested volunteers.
What is Mutual Aid?
Mutual aid is collective support where people voluntarily share resources, skills, and services to meet each other’s needs, especially during times of crisis or systemic failure. Unlike charity, which often flows one-way, mutual aid is based on solidarity, reciprocity, and the belief that communities can care for themselves without relying on institutions that may be ineffective or unjust.
