Mutual Aid & Grassroots Networks

Many communities rely on grassroots and informal networks to meet urgent needs. There may be opportunities to get involved through mutual aid networks, food distribution efforts, neighborhood action teams, or other groups that aren’t often listed on volunteer platforms.

  • Open Arms Community

    This is one of the most important ways to help our outreach ministry. We believe the best way for our initiatives to be successful is for the community to actively get involved. This is an easy and efficient way of contributing to the great work we do at the Open Arms Community. ​ Whether you want to come one evening to prepare a meal, one weekend a month for special time with our older youth, or a couple of hours each week to help elementary students with their learning, get in touch with any questions about how you can volunteer your time to serve our community today. We also like to hear from folks who have ideas for special events like concerts or soccer clinics!
