What is LocalToMe?


LocalToMe is a web app that locates and provides low-income families/individuals with free & accessible food resources near their area within their budgets.

What is the purpose of LocalToMe?


Assist programs and government resources are there to help families in times of need, however, navigating all the information can be difficult to understand and take action. Therefore, our purpose is to localize and simplify the process of getting aid. In our app, users can find all the available resources near them along with resource's contacts, opening hours, requirements, services and contacts. In addition, users can navigate and discover events, news, and updates from big non-profit organizations, local food drives, and individuals.

What is the problem LocalToMe solving?


Due to the recent effects of inflation and the pandemic, many low-income families/individuals faced the unaffordability of basic necessities and unstable living conditions.
