what are you doing and how can we help?
CRC is our response to the already dire need of our houseless and marginalized communities in North East so-called Seattle combined with the purposeful and willfully negligent State in the face of the COVID 19 pandemic.
We want to hope the CV19 pandemic will be over quickly but we also must plan for the worst, a long haul fight over many weeks.

This is a strategic moment for us. it is a chance to secure a strategic stockpile of basic needs supplies for our whole community.
we can, in theory, help in our own small way to flatten the curve by thinking ahead and bulking up our supplies early and then ensure continual access to hygiene and preventative supplies for our local houseless community.
by making sure at-risk people are reliably provided access to the material to keep themselves cleaner and healthier, we might keep some of our neighbors out of the ICU.
We currently have Street Relief, our first CRC program, running in our neighborhood 4 days a week, 2 hours a day from Noon to 2 PM.

This program is a collaborative effort between the advanced wing of our houseless community and our committe.
Street Relief is a cold lunch a snack pack and whatever basic needs supplies we have available.

Ideally we would like both bulk up this program with more comprehensive and reliable packs of supplies AND expand to a biweekly basic needs give away for the local low income housing
How can I help?

It depends on how you want to help! we have lots of options.

At the free level, simply sharing our media, our updates and our wishlist with folks on your own social media platforms can really help. Ideally, everyone would do this step.
if you want to take it a step further and organise an online outreach team on our behalf just DM me!

I'm happy to help get you started. The more smaller, efficient teams the better for now.
if you are a local to so-called Seattle, or especially NE Seattle, and you want to get involved we would love that.

WE NEED SUPPLIES!!!! We will always need more supplies than we need hands. If you can help us gather the supplies on our needs list you will be a blessing!!!
There is only one way in to working with our formation and its to bribe your way in by organizing a supply drive with your own community and organizing its deliver to our drop off point in Lake City.
There are two main reasons:

We NEED SUPPLIES

and

We dont need this to be a social hour or a networking opportunity. we need to know you are here to get shit done, can make goals and meet them without our guidance.
Our formation runs and thrives on resourcefulness and militant reliability and you must display those to hang out with us.

that's the expectations from the committee.
HOW CAN I HELP 2: FAT WALLET EDITION

okay people with money my fellow poors have fucked off its just me and you.

We need your money. we don't want your help. we don't need it, we just need you to buy things off our wishlist or drop stuff off at our drop off point.
you have an opportunity to be of huge benefit to some poor people.

Get in touch. or don't and just send us help. It's your role in this effort and if you are going to get involved now is the time.
We need your help to build up our crucial supplies for the coming fight.
