a zine can be anything

It's very cold, especially overnight! If you find yourself with any extra fall or winter clothes or blankets, please consider bringing them to any of our drop-off locations! ❤️

To support Boneshaker's big move, follow their link for financial donations and also divert any donations intended for us and bring them to any of our other drop spots!

None of us can do everything but each of us can do SOMETHING.

Two new FTP resources that were shared this evening:

1. Friends of the Library 101 - www.librariesforthepeople.org/resources#fo... - created by FTP volunteers and designed by FTP steering committee member @kruttika.bsky.social - learn about from Friends of the Library groups are and do.

We're on now... us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center does such good work across so many types of people, moms and families and unhoused relatives, they are always there to support! Help them out with clothes if you can!

The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

And this temp drop won't stop: the low tomorrow night is supposed to be 37°... the low was 71° just last week.

If you are in the Twin Cities & have extra blankets and cold weather clothing, consider donating to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social - our unhoused neighbors could probably use warm things!

I once again don't have evidence, but I feel very good about calling donations like this a positive addition to our regular harm reduction supplies!!!

Whoever donated a bunch of Goosebumps books: they are a HIT!!! They are really cheering people up, thank you!!

This is about 2 pop-ups worth of supplies, our Wednesday crew finds people and brings them drink, snacks, and sandwiches, usually paired with a harm reduction group for safer use supplies. Our Sunday crew sets up at the same spot that people know they can find- many ways to keep people safe & loved!

Prepping for a hot week at @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social

This full carload cost about $350, just for the drinks and snacks. You can donate at SupplyDepotMpls.com

We are no longer in a state of direct and emergent needs, if you want to donate anything we normally use we can accept it at Arbeiter Brewing, b. Resale, Boneshaker Books, Duck Duck Coffee, and Modist Brewing!

Consider what you may be able to get ready for cooler weather while we're working with these warmer temps a bit longer & buying some time in that regard.

Familiarize yourself with these drop locations & whether they're close to work/home/extracurriculars.

Look into the stuff normally needed.

If you're in the Twin Cities and not sure where/how to start, here are a few ideas. This is all focused on ACTING: going places and doing things

- volunteer with @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social in distributing supplies to unhoused people

Perpetually relevant - ESPECIALLY: ask the residents what they want and need, and don't promise things you can't do!

Please support Jason Garcia, who remains in the surgical ICU 2.5 weeks after being admitted to the hospital with severe perforated appendicitis.
