Cleveland Pandemic Response facilitates mutual aid shares throughout Northeast Ohio, and began in March 2020. Our cooperation is built on the understanding we are all interconnected and impacted by Covid-19.
The labor of organizers, drivers, and others in this work is consent-based and unpaid.
CPR is a non-hierarchical mutual aid group mobilizing pandemic-related resources and information – food, masks, hygiene items, diapers, pantry boxes, and cleaning supplies – to families and individuals in the greater Cleveland area.
We look out for each other & believe that everyone has inherent value.
Ways you can give or receive aid

Buy supplies for us to redistribute
If you don't want to buy from either of these companies, we totally support that! You can buy similar items and drop them off at our collection bins at Phoenix Coffee on Lee Rd. in Cleveland Heights, or at Near West Theater in the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood.
Cleveland Pandemic Response aims to exist in some of the cracks present in the systems of non-profits and organizations that perform social services for those people whom we are not equipped to directly assist, such as with requests related to housing insecurity, financial relief, and other side effects of economic hardship. Sometimes this looks like partnering with nonprofits, sometimes it looks like sharing resources where possible.
