We are in need of volunteers to help us organize and sort our 11th Ward Free Store in preparation for the colder weather! If you'd like to lend a hand at this center where migrants can pick up essential items donated by neighbors, please email us at [email protected].

The 11th Ward Migrant Group is also looking for volunteers to help provide migrants with food and basic needs supplies until they move into city-run shelters. If you are interested in getting involved, use the link to learn more about the neighborhood's mutual aid group:

These are boxes of donated shoes without pairs…. We are super grateful for shoe donations but please make sure they are cleaned, paired, and tied/bagged/taped together before dropping off. It will help volunteers a ton. Thanks!!!
