South Brooklyn Mutual Aid

South Brooklyn Mutual Aid (SBKMA) is a mutual aid group based in Sunset Park with over 1,000+ volunteers. We organize together to support our neighbors in Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, and surrounding areas. To date, we've provided over free 70,000+ grocery deliveries through our mass distribution program, neighbors to neighbors food delivery program, and partnerships with local organizations and schools. We're solidarity not charity. We do not believe in means testing. We do not believe our communities must survive through scarcity. The world is bountiful. 

We also organize additional projects from back to school support, free community stores, baby boxes and diapers, homeless outreach, and more. Every dollar donate is given back to the community. 

After funds are received, we'll work with our wholesale food providers and community partners to continue to build and reach out to families to distribute food. Especially with how overburdened city resources are, we're working fast to build our own process and systems to make sure we can provide and feed our communities. And to include nutritious food that families can actually cook with and sustain themselves. 

This is about solidarity not charity. We're neighbors helping neighbors.  We live in a rich immigrant community that has often been barred or denied resources from the city, state, and federal government. This is about standing with our neighbors and making sure they have the food and support they need during the COVID-19 crisis.
