Dear Montclair Mutual Aid<\/strong> participants and friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to keep you posted more regularly and quickly about mutual aid opportunities and activities. Welcome to our new MtcMA newsletter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We launched our Montclair Free Snow Clearing project<\/strong> in January, and have matched 50 volunteers to clear snow from 35 homes (with priority for seniors, people with disabilities or limits on shoveling, or people with financial strain paying for snow removal) after 2 snowfalls so far. We invite you to sign up<\/a> now to participate for the snowfalls this winter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our monthly free food distro<\/strong> is continuing this winter. On January 23 Montclair Mutual Aid hosted the community event with Toni\u2019s Kitchen<\/a> and Parents Who Rock<\/a>. The event shares free groceries, clothes, and toiletries while participants enjoy music and fun activities. All are welcome at the next events, Glenfield Park 12\u20131:30pm on Sunday February 20 and March 20. We invite you to help with volunteer tasks<\/a>: storing donated items before the next event; updating flyers; event setup and takedown; or performing music outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Direct Giving group is fundraising<\/strong> $2,850 emergency cash for 4 recipients<\/a>. So far MtcMA has received $1,000 for them, from generous Montclair-area donors. We invite you to participate<\/a> as a Direct Giving volunteer or as a recipient. If you wish to donate, you may Venmo @montclairmutualaid (-9044), or mail a check payable to Montclair Mutual Aid, PO Box 1773, Montclair, NJ 07042.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
