COVID-19 Community Response Networks

In response to COVID-19, many grassroots groups have emerged with the shared goal of organizing to ensure vulnerable community members have access to food, housing, healthcare, and other necessities. They’re also redistributing resources in case stockpiling prevents people from accessing basics.*

This document contains the latest list of groups in Canada, primarily city-wide groups organized virtually over facebook.  You can also find local neighbourhood pods here (or start your own with this toolkit).
