Helpy - Free Neighborhood Help Network
Helpy is a free community platform where neighbors help neighbors. Post requests for transportation, groceries, childcare, tech help, manual work, medical assistance, and more. Volunteers in your area see your request and offer to help.
Students can earn and track volunteer hours through Helpy. After helping a neighbor, log your hours directly on the platform. The person you helped verifies the hours, and they're saved permanently to your profile — perfect for high school and college community service requirements.
Features include: real-time help requests, map view of nearby requests, direct messaging between poster and volunteer, star ratings, volunteer hour tracking, and more.
Free to use. No ads. Built for communities.
Help your neighbors. Get help fast.
Helpy connects people who need small acts of help with neighbors who can step up — rides, groceries, moving furniture, and more.
