Bay Area Mutual Aid and COVID-19 Resources

mutual-aid text across bay bridgeMutual Aid is the voluntary reciprocal exchange of resources and services for mutual benefit.

Across the bay area, people have risen to meet the current pandemic head on: organizing community food programs, building tenant associations, striking for workers’ rights, delivering food and medicine to their neighbors, standing in solidarity with the most marginalized, and demanding freedom and justice for those most impacted by the crisis.

With this in mind – we present a growing list of mutual aid and COVID-19 community resources in the bay area and across the greater Northern California region.

We will be updating this list as more groups organize and collective resources become available.
