pitches in

Joins the effort

Pitches in means to contribute effort or resources to a shared task.

When everyone pitches in, the work gets done faster: We all pitched in to clean up after the party.

The phrase suggests willing, cooperative participation rather than obligation: The neighbors pitched in to help rebuild the fence.
