Our Mission

Making Help Accessible To Everyone

public.help started with a simple question: Why is finding help so hard? We believe everyone deserves easy access to the support services in their community.

Finding help shouldn't require navigating dozens of websites or knowing exactly where to look. That's why we've created one place where people can find local services organized by county—making it simple to connect with the services that matter.

We're here to make sure no one misses out on essential services simply because they didn't know where to start.

Our Values

  • check_circle Accessibility: Making help available to everyone, regardless of background or circumstance.
  • check_circle Transparency: Providing clear, up-to-date information about available services.
  • check_circle Community: Strengthening local support networks through better connections.
  • check_circle Empowerment: Helping individuals take control of their circumstances through knowledge.
