Last week, cities across the east coast of the United States were battered by high winds, flooding, and power outages due to this autumn's nor'easter. Our mutual aid map at map.reach4help.org has hundreds of organizations along the east coast. Stay safe, dry, and connected.
We're still looking for help with:
• Data collection and maintenance (including migrating all the data outside of India)
• Frontend development using React on the map (to improve searching the data we just put up)
If you're able to help with either of the above, please DM us.
We’ve also vastly improved how we collect and upload data to our map: All the data for resources in India is now available to view and edit on Airtable.
Links to our map and Airtable below. Thanks to all of our volunteers who helped with these efforts and improvements!
Alongside our partner organizations in the field, we've just added 2,000+ markers to our mutual aid map for critical COVID resources around India!
In March, as #COVID19 began spreading globally, we formed @Reach4Help with the goal to ensure anyone anywhere can find help through the pandemic. 9 months later, a labour of love, we are now a #nonprofit with over 500 volunteers worldwide. #MutualAid #FindResources #NewNonprofits
Looking to contribute to #Hacktoberfest for social good? We're currently looking for React development help on these issues: github.com/reach4help/reach4… #OpenSource #React #Hacktober #Developers #Coding #Nonprofits

With our newest partner, we will start working closely with them on features to bring their help to a larger volunteer audience and reach more people in need!
In addition, last week we had a meeting with House of Good Deeds based in New York, who's very enthusiastic in working with us and using the platform for their charitable work including food banks.
App Update! We're working hard on features for the v3 release of Reach4Help's app, which will continue to improve user experience and app functionality.
With our @Reach4HelpOrg app, you can request or offer #mutualaid and connect directly with neighbours in your area who can help!
