Arts, Culture, and Benevolence
The Arts, Culture and Benevolence program works with members of our community that have mandatory state assigned service hours they must complete. We offer accessible ways of meeting this demand from the state through providing various forms of media (reading, podcasts, music, film, art) for people to engage with, with the option of producing material for the program and participating in other mutual aid work to complete their service hour requirement.

Free Markets
Our Free Markets are large community wide events, where neighbors can bring items they no longer need, and find items they’re looking. We’ve found that this is a great way to encourage people to people connection, and prevents social isolation.
MANY Eco Survival Support
The Mutual Aid Network of Ypsilanti Eco Survival Support (MESS) is a MANY working group created in response to urgent needs around intense climate change events, food scarcity, and working on building climate change resiliency in the Ypsi area. As our infrastructure continues to collapse, it is necessary for all of us to come together in order to prepare ourselves and our communities.
Pantry Support
Food is a human right that needs to be fought for while we live under oppressive economic, social, and political systems. Together, we can uplift efforts to help each other meet our most basic needs. Through our Pantry Support Program, the MANY connects with food pantries that share our Ways of Being to offer volunteer labor, logistical support, fundraising, and connections to other local hospitality programs.

Pull Over Prevention
The police are a racist and classist institution that puts the lives of people of color and immigrants at risk. Pull Over Prevention exists to empower people and help them avoid law enforcement, by repairing car issues that can lead to a traffic stop and promoting access to local resources. Learn more.
