Help Crew

Your tool for organizing help

Help Crew makes it easy to gather and coordinate volunteers when someone needs practical support. It can be useful with illness, surgery, childbirth, bereavement, disaster relief, or any other time a community wants to help.

Help Crew turns the natural desire to help into a plan. An organiser sets up a campaign for the helpee, the person who needs help. Friends and family see exactly what is needed, pick a date or time that suits them, and put their hand up using the online planner.

What you can do in the app:

• See every campaign you are part of, whether you are an organizer, helpee or helper.
• Open a campaign and see what is still needed, by date or time and by kind of help.
• Volunteer for a specific date or time and include details to facilitate coordination.
• See what you have committed and when, all in one place.
• If the help is for you, see who is coming and message them.

The kinds of help you can organize:

Meals, rides, grocery shopping, keeping company, pet minding, washing and cleaning, yard or farm work, moving things, minor repairs, technology assistance, etc.

You need a Help Crew account. Create your free user account and your campaigns on the Help Crew website. This app is for coordinating campaigns that already exist.

Every time is shown in the campaign's own timezone, so nobody turns up at the wrong time.
