touched by angels though i fall out of grace @angeleic - Tumblr Blog

for anyone in or out of minneapolis, here’s a list of organizations on the ground out here daily helping people i haven’t seen mentioned by other posts sharing resources. most of these are south minneapolis located and/or focused because that’s where i’m located and i’m beyond caring about doxxing myself at this point

joyce uptown food shelf - no questions asked food pantry, in need of financial donations, at capacity for material ones

longfellow neighbors - community fund assisting with rent/utilities, healthcare, legal help and transport access, in need of financial donations

smitten kitten, wrecktangle pizza, and twin cities leather - accepting cash to be handed directly to people seeking refuge and assistance + material donations (specifically requesting menstrual products, baby products, and tobacco), if you are in person they are being physically targeted and stalked by ice agents trying to follow them on their distribution routes and have requested anyone able to show up physically and help drive them away

the familia barber studio - accepting material donations (nonperishable foods and toiletries) and financial donations for a food drive from tuesday 1/13 through saturday 1/17

LSFDistro and north country food alliance - lsfdistro is associated with ncfa as an anti food waste and food delivery service focused on the lake street area which has been targeted by ice agents since mid last year, both are accepting monetary donations, and lake street food distro is accepting material food donations (specifically requesting oil, butter, rice, flour, formula, and toiletries)

here is a mutual aid “clearinghouse” for additional organizations on the ground and direct assistance to families affected by the raids - when i can, i’ve just been scrolling through the list of gfm links at the bottom and donating to one at random

just wanted to reblog this with some quick updates and additions as of 1/20/26

updates:

joyce uptown food shelf - officially will be back open for food donations on friday, 1/30/26. in the meantime, please continue with donating money if possible!

longfellow neighbors - they exceeded their goal of $50k for rent, legal, transportation, and healthcare assistance!

smitten kitten - still accepting cash donations and amplifying mutual aid funds and causes daily on their instagram. they are no longer accepting material donations on site, but if you go they will redirect you to places that are!

wrecktangle pizza - at capacity for donations and closed for the foreseeable future!

twin cities leather - still accepting both cash and material donations on site, they have also asked for donations be made directly towards the purpose of keeping their doors open while they provide for the community. as things stand now they only have the funds to stay open for another two months. they have been hosting free 🖕🧊 t shirt printing in collaboration with a local artist - kurt and karri are gems and have been a massive safe space for community members during the past couple of weeks and it would be such a shame to see them close their doors.

the familia barber studio - closed donations as of 1/19 as they fulfill the needs of everyone that reached out to them for assistance!

LSFD & north country food alliance - still accepting both material and financial donations, specifically requesting money, butter, canned veggies and meat, dried beans, peanut butter, snacks, sugar, oil, and baby diapers

the same clearinghouse is still updating with local immigrant defense organizations and mutual aid funds

additions:

powwow grounds coffee - indigenous owned coffee shop, accepting money and a list of materials for both vulnerable people in minneapolis and rapid response/defenders, shown on their instagram (linked), definitely recommend supporting this one as a patron as well if you’re local!

whittier alliance - after conducting a training of over 800 people on rapid response and community defense against ICE, they are now accepting material donations to support their team of responders listed on their instagram, and have a page dedicated to mutual aid and organizations in need of support in the whittier neighborhood. if you are on the ground in minneapolis, you can stop by and pick up safety gear for protesting and observing.

again, these are places i’m familiar with who i don’t see getting mentioned on other mutual aid/fundraising posts and resources, and definitely not an exhaustive list of vetted and valuable sources of aid and protection for people of color in the twin cities! i encourage anyone local to add additional resources, though i do request that we focus on places prioritizing aid to non-white residents of the twin cities for obvious reasons

Hi reblogging to add my city council member Jason Chavez shared this fundraiser for specifically helping families in Phillips where a lot of families are currently sheltering in place and relying on their neighbors for supplies etc

We are a small collective of friends and community organizers working direct… Alexandria Gomez needs your support for Support Phillips Famil

phillips is one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in this whole nightmare and we need all the help we can get to support the most vulnerable members of our community. please consider helping to support my neighbors!!

If you're planning to eat good soon please think of your neighbors as well. Please help ease Palestinian hunger by donating to Ele Elna Elak (an organization that's been the most effective in providing clean water n food)

There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself.
