Cheney people helping Cheney people
Times are rough right now. Cheney Mutual Aid Network is a directory of people, groups, and organizations who can help out at a local level. These services are free or mostly free – all we ask is that you contribute something of your own skills or time in return.
A variety of needs
We look for all the helpers! If you’ve checked our directory already and need assistance with something that’s not listed, contact us and we’ll try to connect you with someone who can help out!
Cleaning and Family Stuff
House cleaning, childcare, yard work, laundry, vehicle detailing, clothing repair, house painting, pantry organization, sink unclogging, Konmarie – you name it, somebody’s good at it.
Access to Necessities
Grocery delivery/shopping assistance, transportation/carpooling, haircuts, gardening, food pantries, tap water testing/filtering, help with frozen pipes, composting, social support groups, book clubs, farm-or-backyard-fresh animal products or produce. Living in your car and need a parking spot or a heater? Check in this tab!
Education and Tech Help
Translation/interpretation help, tutoring, internet access, GED practice, computer repair, navigating college admissions, digital wellbeing, internet safety, going back to school, website building, etc. Someone is going to have the expertise you need here.
Financial Struggles
Anxious about bookkeeping, taxes, job applications or interviews, budgeting, endless phone trees, unemployment claims, overwhelming bills, saving, investing, or debt? Believe it or not, some people love helping with this stuff!
Labor-Intensive Tasks

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
