Designed for people who live in a place — not for abstract social feeds. If you just moved, start with this weekend. Account comes later.
Type a ZIP or City, ST, save a home place, or optionally share browser location. Weather, public calendars, pickleball, and the Churches door (ChurchConnect records, not a second list). Confirm on their sites before you go. Looking up a town does not auto-create an empty board.
Visit the site and choose communities, open a link from a text/email/Facebook/YouTube post, or scan a QR code on a mailbox flyer. One account can belong to many communities. We do not mint a fake neighbor for you.
Name, approximate area, skills, and whether you're new or a youth offering services. Set what you want notifications about — events, matching needs, services, facilities.
Post needs (lightbulbs to home projects). Register a service — including maker and artisan work. List a physical tool neighbors can borrow for a few days. Neighbors message you through Neighborly. Host block parties, cleanups, and BBQs. Request the pavilion for a birthday. Add or claim a food pantry listing on Places — we will not invent hours.
Neighbors who can help see open requests. Offering help marks a need as matched so nothing falls through the cracks.
New residents get a lighter onboarding path: meet neighbors, learn about the area, and find their first event.
Tell us if you want a chair at the library, pickleball, or canoeing. We sort closer-to-you first and still list the rest of the town. If neighbors mark crochet, a church or library can see that demand — we do not invent a class. Host “who’s interested?” for free. A paid highlight for restaurants or coaches comes later, only when a real person sees it.
The win is not more time on Neighborly. It is coffee, a meal, letting someone help you, or staying in the spare room instead of hiding. Receiving kindness is part of belonging. We will not score your courage. If a kind person is offering hospitality, one next yes is enough. Safety stays: public places, Report and Block, 988 in a crisis.
