Facebook bridge

Start where the village already talks

Most neighbors still hear about needs on Facebook. We don't replace that overnight — we bridge it: post needs here (structured + reciprocal), share into local groups, then grow native notifications.

1

Post the need here

Structured category, city, and give-back — not a vague wall post.

Open needs board
2

Share to local FB groups

Copy the need link into Milstead / county groups. Helpers click through to claim with a safety code.

3

Care circles in private groups

For cancer support, use a private Facebook group for photos and updates; use this app for task claims (meals, lawn, rides).

Next integration steps

  1. Share buttons with pre-filled text + need URL
  2. Optional Facebook Login for identity (later)
  3. Email/SMS notifications when a need matches your helper skills
  4. Moderator tools for community admins (Milstead first)

Shareable needs URL: https://community-connections.vercel.app/needs (alias may change after custom domain).
