Volunteers help distribute food boxes to community members during a Guerrer@s de la Ciudad food distribution event at HOMEY, a non-profit focused on social and community justice issues, in San Francisco's Mission District on March 5, 2022.

In 2020 call outs for mutual aid donations flooded social media,  and people responded with an abundance of money, food and time.

Guest: Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, community engagement reporter for KQED
