One shared place for community requests

Ask for help, borrow what you need, and lend what you can.

This site gives neighbors three clear ways to connect: request a service project, ask to borrow an item, or volunteer something useful for someone else to use.

Best for short-term projects, practical household needs, and lending tools, books, and kitchen gear.

How it works

Simple routing keeps the board easy to scan and easy to answer.

  1. 01

    Choose the right board

    Use the project form for volunteer help, the request form for things you need to borrow, and the lending form for items you can share.

  2. 02

    Add the details someone needs

    Include what you need, when you need it, and the best way to contact you so follow-up is quick and direct.

  3. 03

    Make the connection

    Once someone can help, they can reach out and coordinate timing, pickup, drop-off, or project scope with you directly.

Request a service project

Describe the job, the timing, and the best way for someone to reach you.

Use this for hands-on help: cleanups, repair tasks, home setup, small moves, accessibility work, or any project that needs volunteer time.

  • Give a short title to the project.
  • Say where the work will happen and when it is needed.
  • Explain whether the project needs tools, lifting, transport, or a special skill.

Request an item

Ask for something specific that you want to borrow.

This is the place for practical item requests such as an axe, a kitchen utensil, a certain book, a ladder, or another short-term household need.

  • Name the exact item if you can.
  • Say how long you expect to borrow it.
  • Include whether you can pick it up yourself or need help getting it.

Volunteer an item to lend

Offer something useful so another person can reach out and borrow it.

List items you are willing to share, from tools and kitchen utensils to books and specialty equipment, so people know who to contact.

  • Say what the item is and what condition it is in.
  • Explain any borrowing rules, pickup limits, or return expectations.
  • Let people know the neighborhood and how to reach you.

Keep it practical

Clear descriptions make it easier for the right person to step in.

If your request does not fit perfectly into one category, choose the closest form and explain the situation clearly so someone can follow up.
