Mutual Meals

Reciprocal Exchange • Community • Connection

Mutual Meals is a community initiative rooted in the power of reciprocal exchange. Twice a month, we gather for a free shared meal that centers connection, accessibility, and dignity—functioning as a moving channel for mutual aid.

Our Mission

Our work actively challenges "power-over" and "power-under" dynamics. We center those most impacted by systems of exclusion, including:

Indigenous folks and disabled people.

Women and people outside the gender binary.

Those with divergent lived experiences.

How it Works

Mutual aid is not charity; it is an ongoing practice of giving and receiving. We believe our wellness is interconnected.

Shared Space: We provide a consistently accessible community space for all.

Action-Oriented: Each gathering focuses on a specific mutual aid campaign, typically addressing housing and immediate safety needs.

**Transparency: **Donations are redistributed directly to the community, with accountability shared through posted updates.

Whether you contribute financially, socially, or simply by showing up, you are a vital part of the exchange.

Join Us We are currently hosting at New City Center.

**Location: **3104 16th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55407

Entry: Ring the doorbell on the A-frame and come up to the 2nd floor.
