Mutual Aid

Mutual aid is neighbors supporting neighbors — in both directions. If you need support, ask. If you have something to give — time, skills, goods, a connection — offer it. A real person from HigherSelf reads every submission and follows up within one business day.

This is not emergency response, and this page is not monitored 24/7. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For mental-health crisis support, call or text 988. For New Jersey social services, dial 211. The full emergency and crisis resources directory lists Newark providers and hotlines.
