Distro update: Lincoln Community Care! LCC had the sunniest and warmest distro in a while yesterday, and that brought out friends and neighbors on both sides of the distro line. We welcomed some new faces! We distributed food, hygiene, blankets, warm layers, and shoes to 50+ neighbors!

Distro update: Everett Free Grocery Program! It was the sunniest distro in a while, and the community turned out! Unfortunately, our usual food suppliers fell through, so it was our community pool that got food on the tables this week. A meeting about community care and direct aid followed distro!

It was incredible to be a part of this! Attendees asked a ton of keen and thoughtful questions, and we walked away from the workshop with new ideas and new relationships. Thank you EFGP and LCC, and just as many thanks to our fantastic hosts at Rooted Books & Gifts and the people of the Tri-Cities!

Welcome to our new mutual aid account!! Today we're highlighting our first mutual aid group, Everett Free Grocery Program. On its fifth year of weekly grocery and hygiene distribution, it's grown to over 20 in solidarity with 60-80 of our neighbors. Check it out!

Just five neighborhood friends started Everett Free Grocery Program in 2020 in response to the pandemic, evictions, and utilities shutoffs, rallying the community in the face of these and other government failures. As of 2025, our distribution has grown to over 20 regular friends and neighbors to provide food, hygiene, harm reduction supplies, and support to approximately 60-80 neighbors every week. We build political understanding through discussing shared struggles, through reading and research, and through know your rights trainings.

As we have gotten to know our neighbors, some have come to us with requests for help with medication, safer transport, and rent. After initially pooling within the group the need arose to dedicate a direct aid fund.

The direct aid fund goals:
-Limit death, illness, and injury
-Limit police contact 
-Limit strain caused by displacement through temporary shelter
-Be driven by our neighbors' needs

Together, our community has helped neighbors with: medication, safer tires, car insurance, temporary shelter, infant formulaDo you like our whole deal? Want to help?

If you're local, come to distro! DM for location!
