About

Portland Mutual Aid Network started in summer 2020 in response to the needs of the unhoused community downtown. The all-volunteer, non-hierarchical group distributes food, survival supplies, and personal care products weekly, letting the people they serve define what is offered. Reach them at portlandmutualaidnetwork@gmail.com or on social media.
