FREE · PRIVATE · COMMUNITY-POWERED

You're in the right place — help, made simple.

One free app that finds your benefits, fills out the paperwork, and connects your whole community.

FEED. shows you the help you qualify for, auto-fills and e-signs your applications from your private vault, and connects you with neighbors offering and asking for help — free, and built to stay that way.

The Plan See how it works

2026

It's a hard year. You're not imagining it.

Rent went up. Groceries went up. And the help that's supposed to be there is buried under forms, phone trees, and websites that don't talk to each other.

You might qualify for more than you're getting — and never know it. Figuring it all out alone is exhausting. It shouldn't be this hard to ask for a hand.

FEED. can't lower these prices — but it can help you find, track, and stay on top of every bit of help you're entitled to, so a hard year stretches a little further.

What is FEED.

One place to find help — and to help.

FEED. is a free app for your phone. It shows you the benefits and local resources you actually qualify for, keeps your personal documents locked and private, and connects you with neighbors offering and asking for help. No cost. No ads. No catch.

Find what you qualify for

Search programs and see what fits your situation.

Keep your info safe

Your documents are locked with a key only you hold.

Help each other

Offer a hand, ask for one, and look out for your community.

So we built something different.

The Benefits

Everything FEED. helps you find and apply for.

These aren't only for people in crisis. A working family, a student, a new parent, a senior on a fixed income — each one has something for you.

More than an app

This works because of you.

FEED. isn't a company trying to sell you something. It's a tool meant to be owned and run by the communities that use it — free forever, and never for sale.

The map fills in when neighbors add what they know. Resources stay current when people share them. The more of us who show up, the stronger it gets. FEED. is the system; the community is what makes it work.

The Bigger Picture

A stronger safety net lifts everyone.

When more people use FEED. — to find help AND to offer it — the whole community wins. Less duplicated effort. Resources found faster. Neighbors looking out for neighbors. This is what cost-effective community support actually looks like.

Put yourself on the map

Offer a skill, a ride, extra food from your garden, or just say you're available to help — and let neighbors know what you need too. Giving and asking are equally welcome here.

Flag safety hazards

See a broken streetlight, a road hazard, or a public health concern? Pin it on the map so the people who can fix it — and the neighbors who need to know — find out fast.

Start or sign a petition

When an issue affects your community — bus service cuts, housing policy, local clinic closures — FEED. lets you organize a verified petition and gather real digital signatures.

Share in the feed

Post offers, requests, local news, and resource tips with the people around you. The community feed is how neighbors stay connected and keep each other informed.

Getting help should be normal, easy, private, and free — and helping your neighbor should be just as easy. FEED. is built so both are true.

The Plan

Vermont first. Then every state.

FEED. is a Vermont nonprofit in formation. It runs here first — and the open system is built so people in other states can stand up their own community's FEED. The founder provides the system, not the infrastructure for everyone.

The vision is bringing FEED. to all 50 states with free community access points and kiosks — even ones 3D-printed in the shape of wheat or a sunflower — so finding help is as normal as having a library card.

Community-owned, not corporate

Why we build FEED. this way

A small circle of billionaires is building the automated systems that increasingly run government — designed, as More Perfect Union's reporting argues, to answer to shareholders, not voters. In my view, the answer is the co-op model: community-owned tools we build and govern together, without a billionaire middleman. FEED. is that model for mutual-aid technology — a nonprofit in formation, never for sale, never for profit.

Everything you need, in one app.

Find the help that fits you.

  • Ask Sprout in plain words — tell FEED's assistant what's going on and get pointed to real programs, resources, and care.
  • See what's near you — a live map of food, shelter, healthcare and more around you.
  • Browse programs — search every benefit program and see the ones you may qualify for.

Apply without the headache.

Found a program? FEED. helps you apply. Search for the form, let FEED. fill in what it already knows about you, sign it right on your phone, and submit.

Then track where every application stands — submitted, under review, approved — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Your private vault.

Your IDs, benefit letters, and important papers live in one secure place. Everything is locked with a key only you hold — we couldn't read it if we tried.

That same vault fills in your forms for you and lets you sign documents electronically, so you never re-type the same information twice.

Look out for each other.

  • Put yourself on the map — offer help you can give, or let neighbors know what you need.
  • Flag a safety hazard — mark something dangerous so others nearby are warned.
  • Start and sign petitions — stand together on what matters to your community.
  • Share in the feed — post offers, requests, and updates with the people around you.

Meet Sprout

Say hi to Sprout 🌱

Sprout started as a single seed in a community garden — and like anything that grows where neighbors look after it, Sprout just kept… sprouting. Part helpful sidekick, part very enthusiastic intern who actually read all the fine print, Sprout exists for one reason: nobody should have to face the maze of benefits and forms alone.


Sprout read the confusing government PDFs so you don't have to. Tell it what's going on — "I lost my job and rent's due," "my kid needs a checkup," "where can I get groceries this week" — and Sprout helps you find the right program, resource, or clinic, and even helps fill out the paperwork. A little nerdy about deadlines, weirdly excited about food pantries, and never, ever judges.

🔒 Private and secure by design

  • Sprout runs on enterprise AI infrastructure that's independently SOC 2 Type II–audited and HIPAA-eligible (Fireworks AI, audited since 2023), with privacy-gated fallbacks — and it never stores, keeps, or trains on your conversations (zero data retention).
  • Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest (TLS + AES-256).
  • Sprout only ever sees what you type and your city/state — never your vault, your documents, your income, or your exact location. Your files stay locked with a key only you hold.
  • FEED. applies HIPAA-aligned safeguards to your information and never sells it.

🩺 Talk to Sprout about your health, too

  • You can tell Sprout about a medical problem. It'll help you find the right clinic, mental-health support, or assistance program and point you toward care.
Sprout helps you find care — it does not diagnose, give medical advice, or replace a doctor. In a crisis it points you to 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline); in an emergency, call 911.

Your information stays yours

Private by design.

FEED. uses end-to-end encryption — your sensitive information is scrambled on your device before it's ever stored. You hold the only key. No one, not even us, can open your vault without your master password.

(Keep it somewhere safe: if you lose it, even we can't recover it.)

End-to-end encrypted

No ads
Never sold
Free forever
Zero data retention

Help is here. And so are your neighbors.

Free, private, and built to stay that way. Add FEED. to your phone and find what you need today.
