## Resource

Smitten Kitten, a Minneapolis retail store, turned its shelves into a lifeline for immigrant families during federal immigration enforcement, distributing groceries, diapers, and rent relief — all while facing intimidation from ICE. Community donations surged, helping them raise hundreds of thousands, but as federal operations wound down, so did their funding, leaving payroll in jeopardy. Now, they’re asking for your support — shop or donate — because their survival is the key to keeping mutual aid alive for those still in need.
