Omaha Autonomous Action

<div>We are a mutual aid collective focused on providing for the material survival needs of our unhoused community members in Omaha, Nebraska through a decentralized outreach program. Our outreach program provides temporary shelter supplies, food, water, harm reduction services, and a weekly trash cleanup service to local homeless encampments. Help us help our neighbors!</div>

Free

$5 buys 3 pairs of socks. Socks are one of our most sought after items because access to laundry facilities is extremely limited. By subscribing at this tier you help guarantee we have enough socks to keep our neighbors' feet clean and dry!

Clean, Dry Socks

$10 buys a quality tarp to keep our neighbors warm and dry when it rains. The rain fly that comes with most camping tents isn't designed for extended use. Using a tarp in conjunction with a tent's rain fly guarantees a good night's sleep staying warm and dry. Because of this we have a huge need for tarps! Help us meet that need!

Sturdy Waterproof Tarp

$25 can buy one of our unsheltered neighbors a tent. A tent (especially when paired with a tarp) allows a homeless community member the dignity of a private place to change clothing, get a good night's rest out of the weather, and store their belongings and supplies. Unfortunately, most camping tents aren't designed for long term use. That combined with other destabilizing factors such as vandalism, police sweeps, or fire means we are often replacing tents as they get worn out or destroyed. Help us provide shelter!

Shelter in a Storm

We make between 20 and 30 servings of home-cooked food a week to distribute among encampment residents. This costs roughly $50 a week, but puts a smile on the face of our most vulnerable community members. A shared meal goes a long ways towards making someone feel like they are cared for. Quality, nutritious food is hard to come by in Omaha without transportation, and areas around encampments are often food deserts. By subscribing at this tier, you help us guarantee nutritious, home-cooked meals for at least 20 people.

A Home-Cooked Meal

$100 is a lot of money for us to be entirely honest! We could buy any combination of socks, tents, tarps, or food. However, we often get requests for work boots so that one of our unhoused neighbors can get hired on at one of Omaha's many construction sites. Because of how expensive quality work footwear is, we aren't always able to meet those requests. By investing in our community work at this level, you ensure that we do not need to turn anybody down for the footwear they need to put their best foot forward!
