About Kensington/Windsor Terrace Mutual Aid
 
Our motto is “If you need something, please ask. If you can give, please give.”

We aim for solidarity, not charity!

Launched on March 19th, 2020, KWT Mutual Aid is a grassroots volunteer organization created by neighbors for neighbors, with the objective of helping our community cope with the physical, mental, emotional, and economic hardships created by the COVID-19 crisis.

The idea is simple: we show solidarity through our actions and pool resources and support each others' needs.

Our neighborhoods include immigrant communities that are often denied financial support from the city, state, and federal government, neighbors who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic and those living in vulnerable situations.

We partner with local groups, organizations, and neighbors to meet community needs, from assisting in maintaining food resources like the KWT Fridge and Purple Pantries, to prescription pick-ups, well-being phone check-ins, translation, support and guidance accessing government benefits, and providing emergency funds.
