McKinley Mutual Aid

Welcome to McKinley Mutual Aid (MMA)

McKinley Mutual Aid (MMA) is an intertribal, interfaith, and interracial group of volunteers. As leaders of community-based nonprofits, we have a strong pre-existing network that allows us to quickly organize and establish a relatively immediate supply chain, production, and dissemination. Each nonprofit is contributing to grant writing/fundraising, supply chain, a compilation of boxes, and/or distribution of food, water, wood, PPE, and other supplies.

McKinley Mutual Aid (MMA) prioritizes the following groups:

• Elderly
• Immune compromised
• Those living in uranium contaminated areas, and/or without running water
• Single Parents and Households with DV
• Immigrants and Unsheltered Relatives
• THE LAST MILE

McKinley Mutual Aid (MMA) is a collaborative effort among the following organizations:

• First United Methodist Church
