Mutual Aid Response Services (MARS)  has been in the business of helping those in need with medical care and safety services for over 20 years, and now, due to Covid-19, it is our turn to ask you for help. While thankfully most of our staff are employed working the front lines at their hospital, ambulance, or fire department jobs, in order for MARS to survive it still needs to pay the bills until large mass gatherings can take place again. According to Governor Newsom that may not be until 2021!

Currently all of our clients have cancelled or postponed due to Covid-19 since March all the way through July. We have applied for a variety of disaster grants and loans to cover our payroll during this downtime, but given how slow it is to receive approval, we need funding to keep us afloat until that money comes through. The money you donate here will go to paying our insurance and other fixed costs.

If you or one of your friends have ever been helped by a MARStian in the past, please consider helping us now by donating or sharing this campaign so we can continue to serve communities for years to come. 

Being able to provide our harm reduction services and medical care is personally meaningful for us as care providers as well as to the people we serve. The gratitude we receive as part of your generosity will be paid forward to those we care for in the future.

I'm also grateful that gofundme is offering a matching grant, so your contributions are doubled for the first $500 of this campaign. #SmallBusinessRelief
