What's RUMAH?

RUMAH tabling at an event

The Raleigh United Mutual Aid Hub is a community center and volunteer collective based in Raleigh, North Carolina. We provide access to space and resources and are funded almost entirely through community donations.

Our programs are community-led. We provide:

  • An accessible, sober space to put on your event at a free or sliding scale
  • Free access to zines, books, art supplies, printers, and more
  • A seed library, plant swaps, and native plant community garden maintained by our sustainable gardening team
  • A self-defense training collective
  • Free harm reduction supplies
  • A free grocery delivery program for those in need
  • A publically-available online resource directory (submit a resource!)

…and so much more.

Our Mission

We envision a stronger community with accessible spaces where people across all backgrounds and affinities feel a sense of belonging.

We try to fulfill these needs by not only providing a vital third space for people to meet and gather, but by hosting workshops, skill-shares, and community-sourced programming. Our cause is simple: Our community knows the best way to help and heal itself.

Community is a right, not a privilege. We believe in non-hierarchical collaboration, autonomy, diversity, transparency, and that everyone has something to offer.
