I'm in Saint Paul, MN. One of the most useful ways to organize mutual aid has been through the local neighborhood schools. They are already plugged in with families in need. Since you're rural, I'd suggest getting to know the school landscape (even just through Google) to see which ones might be the most vulnerable. Volunteering to patrol or fundraising for them can reach many families.
