MUTUAL AID AMID ICE THREATS
Over 90% of the community MMC supports are immigrants. Our programs are shaped by longtime volunteers, participants, and trusted neighbors who reflect the people we serve. Now more than ever, trust and familiarity matter. We deeply appreciate the recent interest in volunteering with MMC, and we remain committed to prioritizing our community’s safety and well-being.
While we do not currently have in-person volunteer opportunities available, we will update this page and our social media channels as virtual volunteer opportunities become available.
In the meantime, below are additional ways to support the needs identified by MMC’s community, along with links to local resources and organizations we hope you’ll consider supporting:
