The Model
It’s simple.
Salvage or buy 1-3 glass-front bookcases. Shelves. A dresser. Whatever you can reasonably move.
Grab some paint, make some signage, get some initial supplies, and host location with foot traffic where you can have a weekly restocking commitment.
Take what you need. Give what you can. No barriers.

The Zine
Don't ask permission to build mutual aid. This zine shows you how to launch your own stations in your neighborhood.
10 pages, zero bullshit, completely free.
FYI:
Petite Pantries™, Wee Bairn™, and Med Sheds™ are trademarked by SMASH but FREE for mutual aid and nonprofit organizations to use. We claim these names defensively to prevent corporate co-option, not to restrict grassroots use.
USE THEM. ADAPT THEM. IMPROVE THEM.
Questions? Starting your own? We want to hear from you! Share your adaptations. Ask for help. Tell us how it goes. This model is meant to spread!
When systems fail, communities step up. Let's do it together.
