From Pancakes to Provisions: How We Became Mutual Aid Over Everything
Last November, we began volunteering with a local mutual aid organization, Because of Adam in order to provide food to our unhoused neighbors here in Indianapolis. The service we provide has since grown and expanded and shifted and I felt it would be good to update everyone on what we do and how we have changed our goals over the last year, and how we went from calling ourselves Indy Pancake Popup to Mutual Aid Over Everything.
Use Your Voice
I am tired of the lack of kindness from our city. I am tired of the lack of care or concern. I am tired of the lack of any sort of plan that doesn’t involve a badge and a gun and a jail cell.

Making Pancakes and why they Matter
It’s been quite some time since I’ve sat down to write a blog. However, our gym has recently started doing some mutual aid work that I thought deserved to be shared.
For those of you who know me personally or have just been following the gym on social media, you are likely aware that I recently started the Indy Pancake Popup. This little project is simple: I make pancakes and other breakfast foods for unhoused individuals in Indianapolis once a week. My children come with me and we set up a couple of propane stoves, throw a cast iron griddle on top, and get to work.
