Omaha Autonomous Action

Hello Omaha! The weekly OAA Street Kitchen is moving to a new location. Starting Sunday November 2nd, Kitchen and distro will be at Walnut Hill Park by 38th and Hamilton every Sunday from 2-3. Tomorrow will be a little celebration, and we hope to see some of y'all there! DM with questions.

We’ve been busy at Street Kitchen this summer! Here's a lil recap of the last couple months:

July was HOT. In addition to our usual supplies at kitchen, a few members went around the community to distribute water and electrolytes to folks who needed it. We ended July with a hotdog grill-out, turkey sandwiches, homemade meatloaf and plenty of snacks and veg from folks' gardens. In August, we had enchilada casserole, a ton of salad, chicken salad sandwiches, and pizza.

Huge thank you to the people and orgs that helped us out with our July hygiene supply drive, especially for running a supply drive for us! This is what we collected from the drive:

35 shampoos / conditioners
30 lotions
6 deodorants
50 soaps
20 toothbrushes
11 toothpastes
4 flosses
2 packs of wipes
2 boxes q tips (500 count)
20 tampons
100 pads
10 hand/ face collagen masks
8 razors

Also, shout out to the people who brought us extra food and supplies at Street Kitchen. Small and travel size toiletries are a great resource that’s always much appreciated and welcome year-round. If you'd like to help out, just send us a message!

Although we work hard to get people the basic supplies they need to make life a little easier, conditions are getting worse for folks. Police and business owners alike continue to harass our neighbors, forcing people to constantly relocate. As a result, our neighbors lose valuable possessions. Tents, sleeping bags, clothing and hygiene supplies need constant replacing.
People deserve to feel safe and secure where they're staying, and not at constant risk of upheaval.

Please be kind to your neighbors, look out for each other, and stay safe.
