Food Insecurity
Networks and initiatives focused on addressing food access, building community food systems, and combating hunger through mutual aid.
National Resources
A volunteer-driven mutual aid network that recovers food that would otherwise be discarded and shares free vegan and vegetarian meals with the hungry in over 1,000 cities around the world. They organize around the principles that food is a right, not a privilege, and work to build local solidarity while protesting war and poverty.
A comprehensive mapping resource connecting people to mutual aid networks and resources in their local areas, with a particular focus on food distribution efforts and community-driven food security initiatives.
Community Resources
A community-driven mapping tool that helps locate and share information about mini food pantries and mutual aid food distribution points across communities. The map allows users to find nearby pantries or add new ones, fostering grassroots food security initiatives and neighborhood-level mutual aid networks.
A map and resource network for community refrigerators—publicly accessible fridges where people can take or leave food at no cost. These cooperatively managed fridges help reduce food waste while increasing food access in neighborhoods across the country.
