Due to the forecast this weekend, Future Economy Collective is rescheduling our community meeting to take place on Sunday, Feb. 1st from 3pm-5pm at the FEC Space, 700 N. Main St, Suite E, in Blacksburg, VA. It is above Mill Mountain Coffee, across the hall from the Wax Studio and Brow Bar. The meeting will also take place over Google meet through this link.
The Community Meeting is an intentional space to hear from community members about issues affecting them, so we can learn how to best support the community. Mark your calendars for our second Community Meeting on Sunday, August 30th from 3pm-5pm.
Support our efforts
You can donate goods for Mutual Aid distros to the collection box at Eats Natural Foods, located at 708 N Main Street. Needed items include cleaning products, toiletries including menstrual products, and non-perishable foods such as peanut butter, canned proteins, pasta, and baby food.
All monetary donations support our day-to-day operations or are invested directly back into the community through our free fridge and mutual aid distros. Everyone at FEC is a volunteer, so no donations go towards salaries. Please consider making one-time or recurring donations through Zeffy (preferred), Patreon, or Paypal.
The Community Fridge and Pantry behind Ukirk Presbyterian Campus Ministry at 305 Washington Street SW in Blacksburg are always open for donations. Make sure to include a full ingredients list on any home-made items, and write the date you added them to the fridge.
Borrow or share tools for free!
Do you have projects and tasks that require tools you don't have, and want to borrow tools for free from your neighbors in the New River Valley? We have launched a virtual tool library in memory of Abram Lee. Anyone in the community can list, share, and borrow tools at no cost. Check out the tool library by clicking here! People who would like to list items can send a photo, item name, and item description to our email [email protected] or [email protected].
