Inspiration

With current restrictions, there is a lot of opportunities for people to help each other out in regards to essential delivery. This application provides a way in which communities can come together with simple acts of kindness.

What it does

Connects people who are limited in regards to transportation with people who are able to pick things up for them. Users can posts lists of essential items they are looking to get delivered to them by people that are close by. Users can also search the database for posted lists near an address that they are "on the way" to and get in contact with the user who posted them.
