If you're somewhere with no leftist orgs, having the Church as an institution to do direct action and aid through is a legitimate strategy. My youth group used to visit homeless shelters with supplies for them. It might not be ideal from a political perspective, but you're helping out those who are in most need, so I think it's as good as anything else.
That's what I'm looking at for developing mutual aid infrastructure in my area these days. Call me whatever you want, but ideological purity is less important to me than making sure everybody is fed and warm through the winter.
