Your digital roadmap to all things community resources in your city. Currently we are listing resources for: Baltimore, the D.C. Area and Philadelphia.

Finding resources in your community just got easier. Needs Notebook is a community-curated platform to help people find local support for food, clothing, toiletries and other needs. We also help individuals and groups find organizations they can volunteer with and/or donate to.

We communicate with the organizations we list to better understand the communities they serve + the resources they provide.
