Mutual Assistance Network is a community-based organization dedicated to empowering families and fostering lasting social and economic change across Northern Sacramento, including Del Paso Heights and Arden Arcade. Guided by the belief that residents themselves hold the power to transform their communities, the organization helps individuals and families build the resources, confidence, and stability needed to thrive. Through a broad range of programs and partnerships, Mutual Assistance Network strengthens local infrastructure, promotes self-sufficiency, and creates opportunities for education, employment, and personal development.

Their philosophy centers on collaboration and resilience—encouraging community members to take an active role in improving their neighborhoods and shaping their futures. In addition to their economic and social programs, Mutual Assistance Network also offers supportive services that address emotional and behavioral well-being. Among these, anger management programs play an important role in helping participants develop positive coping skills, improve relationships, and manage stress more effectively. These services are offered in a supportive, culturally responsive environment that respects individual experiences and promotes healing and growth.

Operating from several community centers throughout the Del Paso Heights area, the organization continues to serve as a vital resource hub where families can access tools for empowerment and connection. Mutual Assistance Network’s mission—to advance social and economic opportunities so families can thrive—reflects a deep commitment to building stronger, healthier, and more united communities for generations to come.
