Volunteer: Buffalo Mutual Aid- Grocery Volunteer

Mutual aid networks are local, volunteer-run collectives of neighbors helping neighbors in any way they can.

Many of our neighbors are still unable to leave their homes due to being elderly, immunocompromised, or just unable to afford the groceries needed for their families

Grocery Volunteers will receive a grocery request including a Shopping List, Requester Name, and Delivery Address. The volunteer will shop for the requested items and deliver them to the Requester, and then Volunteers are reimbursed once grocery receipts are submitted.

 

As volunteer schedules change due to an ever changing economic and social landscape, we are always in need of individuals willing to add a few extra items or a list to their personal grocery runs. 

So far the Buffalo Mutual Aid Network has fed around 300 families and redistributed $9000 within the people in Buffalo. The need will continue, as will our need for wonderful volunteers able to donate a small portion of their time weekly or semi-weekly.

Volunteer: Snow Brigade Volunteer- Remote Opportunity

Buffalo is the "City of Good Neighbors",  and currently our neighbors need us. Our community members become snowed in, their vehicles buried, our streets unplowed. Many of these individuals are unable to shovel or clear paths. These neighbors have work, doctors visits, or grocery trips, but are unable to leave their homes and are in need of assistance.

The Buffalo Snow Brigade is a volunteer campaign working to solve this issue, by assisting our snowed in neighbors with some much needed shoveling. This campaign is mobilizing volunteers to offer assistance to those residents who are unable to clear snow from their residences. 

This volunteer opportunity is for remote dispatching our volunteers. 


A Dispatcher pairs a snow removal request with a willing volunteer, and arranges a time for that volunteer to visit and remove the snow from our neighbor in need.

 

To be frank, the Snow Brigade should not exist. While we are more than happy to be able to build solidarity networks through mutual aid, mutual aid like this exists because the system is failing.  If you’d like to get involved with our organizing efforts to push the city to fund municipal snow removal, please email us at buffalosnowbrigade@gmail.com
