This app connects people in neighborhoods to each other based on their needs. If a user needs someone to grab prescriptions or groceries, they can ask fellow neighbors for assistance.
As someone who cannot leave my home or neighborhood, there are things that I need that I can’t get, so I want to post the things I need. As a person who has extra supplies (or access to extra supplies), I would like to help other people by donating the things I don’t need.
Currently, we are restricting the location for this app to Austin, TX zipcodes. This is our initial test-run of this app.
