Agreed. A lot of these problems are generational and stem from a twisted view of individualism. The “I got mine” mentality.
My reply was more about the ambiguity of “take matters into your own hands.” I cannot solve this with my own hands. I need help. Mutual aid networks provide that.
Food not bombs is a decent name, although it’s decentralised so every org will be different. If you search “food not bombs” + your city or state you’re likely to find something. All these orgs are local and decentralised because it’s a primarily anarchist method, but once you get in contact with one group they can point you towards others.

And longer term, a lot of mutual aid organisations have explicitly revolutionary goals.
