COMMUNITY RESOURCES

Providing our communities with what we need and showing you where you can find it. We are going to start focusing on resources that are not funded by the government to prepare ourselves for the impacts of the cuts and dismantling we will face. We understand that not everyone that comes to this page for resources and free market information but these are necessary things that need to be shared and discussed to keep our community safe in all the ways we're capable of.
If you have suggestions on non profits, groups, or resources that should be listed here, feel free to reach out.

APPALACHIAN EDGE FREE MARKET

The Free Market is a mutual aid effort to ensure our communities sustainability and survival while also lessening folks' consumption. It is for the community, by the community. No questions asked. When basic needs are met, families and individuals can focus on each other and ourselves and actually live life. If you're around our area, don't donate to thrifts that just sell your stuff, donate to those who are putting it right back into the community where it's needed.

Coming soon: fresh foods from our community garden.

 

"Mutual aid is collective coordination to meet each other's needs usually from systems we have in place are not going to meet them. As we face more worsening conditions, we must come together and create pathways to sustain ourselves and keep each other safe."

 

We have clothing right now but are not accepting more clothing or large items and toys until we find a permanent storage and affordable store space.

If you are in need of anything we may have in between our free market days, please feel free to reach out and we can try to make something happen, whether meeting up or delivery. We want our market to be as accessible as possible. Hopefully one day we'll have a shed for folks to come and go as they please. This is all about the honor system and helping those in our community in all the ways were capable of. It's time to stop throwing everything away for it to go into the landfill or giving it to goodwill. We are a world filled where we mass produce everything. Most things, we do not need to buy brand new. If you'd like to learn more about mutual aid and our efforts, head over to our mutual aid page here on our website.

We now have fresh veggies from our garden for our free market!

We are so excited to announce that our garden is producing food and some has been ready to harvest. July 25th will be the first free market where we will have fresh foods! We will have cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, radishes and possibly potatoes. Fresh foods will be first come first serve until we have more grown and harvested and a better system is set up with the help of a community committee. If you'd like to be on our Community Aid Committee, reach out to us.

To see and learn more about the garden head over to our fundraising and donations page.

OUR NEXT PROJECT: ADAMS COUNTY

We are going to create something that has the potential for immense positive change within our communities. A documentary about our neighbors and we need some folks to help us do just that. have a new way to reach our community. If we see our neighbors and hear their stories, we are more likely to care about what our neighbors are going through and possibly think even further than just our own community. Showing folks a movie where they could see their sister, their neighbor, their local farmer, the DG clerk, their hair dresser or anyone else in their lives, may help some folks understand the severity of what’s happening and that all of this is a non-partisan universal (national) problem. If you or someone you know would like to be involved or tell their story, reach out to our email below.
