At Serve Your City/Ward 6 Mutual Aid (SYC/W6MA), our commitment remains unwavering: to prioritize the safety, well-being, and dignity of our neighbors. Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to provide essential resources—including food, cleaning supplies, school materials, digital devices, household items, and clothing—to those who need them most.
A key part of this work is our partnership with Christ United Methodist Church (CUMC) in Southwest DC, alongside other grassroots organizations committed to uplifting Black and Brown communities across the city. The generosity of our donors and volunteers has been vital in sustaining these efforts, ensuring that critical support reaches those facing hardship. Together, we continue to demonstrate the strength of community solidarity and mutual care.
