Coulee Region COVID19 Mutual Aid



In the midst of the pandemic, it is heartening to see community members stepping up to help those who are most affected by COVID19. With so many people in the area already struggling to make ends meet, losing wages has a disastrous effect on many people. This need has spurred action by local groups and individuals, from United Way and La Crosse Community Foundation creating the La Crosse Area Emergency Response Fund to the Holy Trinity-Longfellow neighborhood group organizing a volunteer corp as well as numerous individual community members offering to help (donate diapers, pick up groceries, etc.) on social media.

In that spirit, a few community members have created a library of free resources to help those in need find the necessary support. You can find this mutual aid library at tinyurl.com/CR-Covid19-Resources

If you are able to donate, free of charge, any time, services, goods, or money to those who might need it, please enter your information in the document OR email couleedsa@gmail.com and we will enter it for you!  

If you or someone you know is need of anything, check the mutual aid library for possible resources. If what you need isn't there, please don't hesitate to email couleedsa@gmail.com or make a post on the Coulee Region COVID 19 Mutual Aid Facebook page.   

If there are any concerns or suggestions for how to improve this document, or you need help navigating it, let us know!
