🖤 We want to thank every volunteer, donor, and neighbor who showed up to make our November “Thanksgiving” Mutual Aid Pop-Up possible. What you’re seeing here is collective care in action—people choosing each other when systems fall short.

Our Mutual Aid Pop-Ups happen in November (Thanksgiving) and December 25th (Christmas Day) because these are days when access to food, warmth, and resources often disappears for unhoused community members.

We approach these days with awareness—recognizing the violent history tied to Thanksgiving and how its impacts continue to disproportionately harm communities most affected by homelessness, and acknowledging that Christmas is shaped by cultural, religious, and economic norms that do not reflect or include everyone’s lived experience. What does hold meaning is showing up for each other through mutual aid, harm reduction, and collective care.

Join us by volunteering, cooking, or donating supplies for our next pop-up on December 25th. Sign up at the link in our bio. ❄️

🎄 It’s that time of year! Join CARE Olympia for our 3rd Annual Christmas Mutual Aid Pop-Up at Sylvester Park on Monday, December 25th, from 11 AM to 3 PM. ❄️

Our winter pop ups are about coming together to spread warmth, food, and support to our community. We’re calling on folks to help us make this year’s pop-up a success!

🤝 Ways to Get Involved:
🍗 Hot Food Donors: Share the love by cooking and bringing main dishes, sides, or your favorite holiday recipes to serve up some warmth. We asked that food is dropped off in aluminum pans for easy heat up!
🧤 Supplies Donors: We need winter essentials like gloves, socks (new), hand warmers, sweatpants, and other cold-weather gear. We currently have a big need for 1 pound propane cans, as well as hot hands, gloves, and beanies!
🙌 Day-of Volunteers: Help us distribute food and supplies while making meaningful connections with the community. You can reach out to us directly to inquire about how to volunteer, or just show up! Volunteers have no minimum time requirement.

Every contribution makes a huge difference. If you’re interested in volunteering or donating, sign up using the sign-up link in our bio!

Let’s make this holiday season unforgettable by showing up for one another. See you there! 🌟🎄
