Springs Mutual Aid Project

Creating Food Security Through Community Stewardship

A colorful illustration of a bird with a yellow body, red beak, and black wing, accompanied by motivational text about helping create a better community.

Focusing on Food Security while connecting People & Organizations to broaden access of necessary resources in The Springs.

We are just a few local community members who recognize gaps in access to food & resources & see easy solutions through collaborations with local businesses, organizations & public participation.

Not a church.

Not a political org.

Not a 501c3.

We see ways to share access without being funded directly.

The goal is to get into one conveniently located central hub in The Springs!

Events Have Been Cancelled

A Location needs to be established for the mutual aid aspect of supplies to continue what we have currently been providing.

The pop up’s were for a 6 month trial to prove the need existed in our community.

We did that, we know what needs exist. Now it’s time for us to collectively make the needed changes in community together.

We will have updates soon as to how that looks!

Send us an email if you want to get notification!

Thank You To Everyone For Your Support!
