Our Purpose

The NH Mutual Aid Relief Fund is a grassroots effort of working-class people who believe that direct action and solidarity are the best ways to meet the material and social needs of our community.Weekly free stores provide judgement-free aid in the form of food, hygiene items, first aid supplies, clothing, camping gear, and other necessities. They also serve as an opportunity to bring locals together to build connections and community. We came together because of our own lived experiences with houseless/housing insecurity and a recognized need for mutual aid infrastructure run and led by members of the community.
