About Helpboard

Help should be easy to find.

When emergencies happen, the Okanagan shows up. Businesses offer meals, organizations collect supplies, people open their doors and our community looks for ways to help.

But that information is often scattered across social media, websites and group chats — making it difficult to know what help is available and what’s actually needed.

Helpboard brings it all together.

One place for community help.

Helpboard is a community resource board for the Okanagan, connecting people with local support during emergencies.

Find help

Discover food, accommodation, animal care, supplies, transportation and other available resources.

See what’s needed

Find local donation drives and see what organizations are currently accepting and need most.

Offer help

Businesses, nonprofits and community organizations can share the resources and support they’re offering.

Built for the Okanagan.

Helpboard started with a simple idea:

When our community shows up, there should be one place to see it.

We’re starting here in the Okanagan, making it easier to connect the people who need help with the businesses and organizations ready to provide it.

Helpboard is a community resource directory and is not an emergency service or official source of emergency information. During an emergency, always follow instructions and alerts from local authorities. Resource availability may change and cannot be guaranteed.
