The Richfield Community Safety Network launched the Emergency Community Support Fund in partnership with the Richfield Leadership Network (RLN) in late January 2026. 100% of donations made to RLN go to support the Emergency Community Support Fund and the administrative underpinning of our mutual aid efforts. More information about how we are using these funds is available here.
This Venmo supports grassroots tenant organizing efforts for basic needs. 100% of donations made to this Venmo go to support these efforts.
Below are some suggested spots to bring donations for Richfield families. Check back often as arrangements may change.
If you have questions, reach out on the appropriate Signal group to let us know you have donations (you will be added to our Signal groups once you have completed the volunteer form and been properly vetted).
