Can Quakers Help?
Friends may be interested to know more about Oxford Mutual Aid (OMA) – a volunteer-run group that has been supporting people across Oxford since the pandemic began. They:
¨ Provide food parcels and hot meals
¨ Provide items like baby products, toiletries, and masks
¨ Collect prescriptions, run errands
¨ Signpost people to other services where needed
During the past year OMA has provided 250 food parcels a day to folk in need, provided 150 re-heatable meals a week, and respond to approximately 10-15 emergency support requests a day.
They need more volunteers, including people for desk based and telephone work, as well as drivers and a range of other jobs. If you want to find out more, have a browse of their website:
