Hi, all. We're trying to raise $500 to help out our unhoused neighbors who lost tents and tarps in Wednesday night's storm. We appreciate all the support from the community.

OUR NEIGHBORS NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Wednesday night’s storm ripped through many of our unhoused neighbors’ primary shelters.

We are looking to buy some extra tents and tarps to replace those damaged in the storm.

We are hoping to raise $500 before noon on Sunday so we can
purchase these urgently needed supplies. Links in bio.

Who is in charge of OAA? Nobody, and everybody. There is no boss, no board of directors, only people coming together to help meet the needs of others in the community. How can I help OAA? Well, you can donate via Venmo or Cashapp, subscribe to our Patreon, or donate goods and/or time (links in bio)

Common questions we are asked: Are we a church group? No. Even though Augustana generously makes their basement space available to us, we have no religious affiliation as a group. Is Street Kitchen only for unhoused people? No. Anyone can come eat or pick up supplies at Kitchen.

🏴Omaha Autonomous Action🏴 @omahaautonomous.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Currently our weekly Street Kitchen is Sundays from 2:00-3:00 p.m. at Walnut Hill Park, right by the fountain. If the weather is bad we are probably in the basement of Augustana Lutheran Church, right across the street. Either way, we are out there every Sunday, rain or shine.

Hi! We've been on here for quite a while now, but we've never properly introduced ourselves (admin is notoriously bad at introducing themself, so not surprising). We are Omaha Autonomous Action, a mutual aid collective that has been doing our best to help out in the community for 5 years now.

If you have been looking to make a material difference in the lives of your neighbors, if you have been looking for a way to be involved in something, if you have just been looking for a way to get out of the house and meet some friendly people, consider checking out OAA. DM any questions 🖤

It’s that time of year when temperatures start to rise, and unfortunately, so are the needs of the community. As always, we greatly appreciate your generosity which helps us continue our work, but right now the greatest need might be you.

Hard to believe we’ve been at our new location at Walnut Hill Park (and thanks to the generosity of the congregation of Augustana Lutheran Church, in the church basement when the weather isn’t ideal), for over 7 months now, but so far things have been going well.

Hi, all, it’s been a while! I assure you we are still out here and have been staying busy trying to help community members meet their needs.

A friend & street kitchen regular has hit a rough patch & needs help to make rent! He's an incredible organizer who has done so much for street kitchen since we moved to Walnut Hill in November, including welcoming us to the neighborhood & helping us build a strong relationship with the community.

One of our longtime members needs our support! Addison is a passionate ally who has given so much of her time & resources to the community over the years. It would be amazing if we could give back & help her with costs as she fights cancer. Thank you for your support www.gofundme.com/f/help-addis...

Hi, my name is Addison, and asking for help for myself like this is not something that comes easily to me.

Over the past months, my life has been turned upside down by a cancer diagnosis. What started as unexplained symptoms quickly became doctor visits, tests, scans, and the reality that I now face ongoing cancer treatment and an upcoming surgery.

There are days when this feels incredibly heavy, physically, emotionally, and mentally. But I am fighting with everything I have, and the love and support from those around me has reminded me that I’m not doing this alone.

While I am doing everything I can to stay strong and focused on healing, the financial weight of this journey has become overwhelming. Between medical bills, treatments, surgery costs, and medications, the expenses add up faster than I ever imagined.

This GoFundMe is to help cover:

Cancer treatments and related medical bills
Upcoming surgery and recovery costs
Medications and follow-up care

Every donation, no matter the amount, helps ease the burden so I can focus on what matters most: getting through treatment and healing.

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this page or keeping me in your thoughts means more than you know.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, kindness, and love during one of the hardest chapters of my life.

With gratitude,
Addison

First of all we want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who's donated their time, supplies, or funds in the last week. It's greatly appreciated and we're on track to continue our normal request schedule! Without our community we wouldn't be able to do what we do.

At this rate, we can't afford to keep requests going. The attached pics give you an idea what a typical request week looks like.

this week's requests sorted for their recipients and mostly loaded into the back of a car. Several requests, tents and cat supplies, don't fit in the trunk and are instead sitting on the ground.

Three years ago, we were able to buy requests every week, and get 3 needs and 3 wants for folks. Today, we've had to scale back to a limit of two items per person every other week. Even with that change, our last several request shops have each been more than our monthly Patreon payout.

They're not just choosing from (appreciated and very helpful) donations, but instead telling us exactly what they need and getting it. Unfortunately, because both the number of people requesting things and prices have gone up, it's becoming financially untenable to maintain.

🏴Omaha Autonomous Action🏴 @omahaautonomous.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Hi, we need your help. One of the things that sets OAA apart from many other mutual aid projects is our request process. It's something that we believe in very strongly, as it gives some of our most disenfranchised neighbors agency and autonomy.

Our unhoused neighbors really need the support of all in the community, now more than ever. Show up for your unhoused neighbors, whether that be providing a meal, supplies, cash, or just a chat. Mutual aid is a great way to build community and provide tangible assistance to those who need it.

We got to share a Greek pasta salad, pizza, grilled hot dogs and some delicious Khichdi with our neighbors, as well as an array of snacks and drinks. Thanks to generous donations we had canned goods, hygiene products, and period packs to distribute, in addition to our usual request fulfillments.

As a result, our neighbors lose valuable possessions. Tents, sleeping bags, clothing and hygiene supplies need constant replacing. People deserve to feel safe and secure where they're staying, and not at constant risk of upheaval.

Although we work hard to get people the basic supplies they need to make life a little easier, conditions are getting worse for folks. Police and business owners alike continue to harass our neighbors, forcing people to constantly relocate.

Also, shout out to the people who brought us extra food and supplies at Street Kitchen. Small and travel size toiletries are a great resource that’s always much appreciated and welcome year-round. If you'd like to help out, just send us a message!
