As need for food and basic supplies has dramatically increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic a year ago, a number of different mutual aid organizations across South Jersey have risen to the occasion to help their neighbors in need.
Adam Sheridan, Katie Ingersoll, and other progressive organizers formed the South Jersey Mutual Aid Network in response to the difficulties some residents and families faced getting help from food banks.
