PROJECTS

MUTUAL AID
WEEKLY DISTRO

Every Tuesday, in the heart of downtown Grand Junction, Colorado, mutual aid volunteers transform a couple thousand square feet of space into a farmers' market event, a "DISTRO" which includes the distribution of nutritious food in the form of a choice pantry with fresh produce, frozen meats, shelf-stable foods, and grocery rescue.

We maximize our impact through advocacy, resource navigation & care coordination via strong collaborations with service organizations who connect with community members onsite and focus on meaningful outreach & accessibility.

The Distro requires around 30 volunteers each week, so we are always looking for passionate individuals who want to get involved with the mutual aid community.
