32 💘 Love Bank: Valentine’s Day at Kruger Pines

💛 Love Bank at Kruger Pines: Mutual Aid, Neighbors Helping Neighbors 💛

Love Bank at Kruger Pines is a relaxed, neighbor-to-neighbor gathering centered on Mutual Aid ❤️ — the simple practice of noticing what people need and helping one another meet those needs directly.

This event is for people who are curious about helping others 💛, even if they’ve never heard the term “mutual aid” before. You don’t need training, experience, or special knowledge.

Mutual Aid here is intentionally simple ❤️:

Show up
Listen
If you’re able, stop at the ATM
Share resources directly with seniors
Trust that together, we’ll figure out what’s needed and take care of one another

No applications.
No agencies.
No overhead.

Just neighbors helping neighbors 💛

This gathering is part of the No Kings Marin series, focused on strengthening community and democracy between elections — through relationships, dignity, and practical care, especially for seniors who are often overlooked or under-supported ❤️.

💛 A Living Mutual Aid Legacy 💛

This work honors the legacy of Father Maurice Chase, known as “Father Dollar.” For decades on Skid Row in Los Angeles, he practiced Mutual Aid before most people had a name for it — giving cash directly to people in need, without judgment or bureaucracy ❤️.

Love Bank carries forward that same spirit: trust people, respect dignity, and meet real needs in real time 💛.

You can see Father Maurice Chase in action here:

This is not a rally, training, or formal meeting ❤️.
There is no expectation to join anything or commit to anything.
Just come as you are — curious, open, and ready for conversation 💛.

💛 We’ll briefly share:

What we learned from our first listening gathering
How Love Bank and Adopt-A-Senior work in practice
How Mutual Aid shows up in small, everyday actions that actually matter

Then we’ll leave plenty of space for connection and conversation ❤️.
