Our inspiration: a call to action

Shreveport / Bossier City Mutual Aid was founded in response to critical needs within our communities. Recognizing the challenges posed by reductions in essential services like food aid, we saw an urgent need for local networks to step up. Our mission is to provide a vital hub where individuals can find information, support, and resources to develop robust mutual aid programs right in their own neighborhoods.

Our vision: resilient neighborhoods

Our main goal is to foster a culture where communities naturally come together, supporting each other not just in times of crisis, but as a fundamental part of daily life. We envision Shreveport and Bossier City neighborhoods becoming models of self-reliance and collective care, where every resident feels connected, supported, and empowered to contribute to the well-being of their community.

"SBC Mutual Aid helped us turn our ideas into action. Their resources and guidance were invaluable in organizing our neighborhood's first food share program. It's truly empowering to see what we can achieve together!"
