GET INVOLVED
Solidarity requires the work of many folks.
SUPPORT
Invest in your community, our community.
DONATE ITEMS
We provide food & supplies to hundreds of people every week.
Volunteer
Solidarity requires the work of many community members. Please reach out to learn more about our current needs. These evolve over time in response to the community, but often include: Tutoring, supply shopping and delivering, packing and organizing items, encampment outreach, and monitoring the hotline. Have other special skills that you think could help? Let our Membership team know!
We’re also looking for virtual tutors!
We’re especially looking for college students and recent graduates, but others may also join us. You’ll need to be able to commit to at least one tutoring session per week.
Financial Support
Donations—especially recurring gifts—form the foundation of our ability to support our neighbors. With every dollar, we can pay for more laptops and school items; enrichment programs for kids; masks and hand sanitizer; culturally responsive public health fliers; and sustaining our operations, which now span programs serving 2,000 people every week.
Become a recurring donor or business donor or make a one-time donation to support our programming. This is one of the most impactful ways you can help ensure that this work continues now and into the future. We know that the end is not in sight for the impacts of structural racism and COVID-19. SYC/W6MA is committed to serving our city in whatever way we need to for the long haul. We can and will do this, and we need you in the fight.
Questions about where your donation will go? Interested in sponsoring or making a donation from a Donor Advised Fund or other alternative source? Get in touch with our Development team.
