2. The Ballard Mutual Aid group is collecting winter clothing to be distributed to our unhoused neighbors. If you have any adult-sized, gently used winter clothing you no longer need, bring it to the potluck! Clothing items most needed are coats, hats, gloves, socks, sweaters, etc. Both masculine and feminine are needed. Please bag all your items.

Please RSVP!

Because this is in a limited-access apartment building, we’ll need to text everyone a code to get in the door. Please RSVP below to receive the door code before the potluck.
