What Carehood is

Carehood is a neighbor-to-neighbor care request network in Chicago. It turns local generosity into practical help, bridges the gap between formal healthcare and everyday recovery, and keeps every request privacy-first and partner-verified.

How it works

  1. 1. Someone submits a practical need: a ride, a shower chair, a week of groceries.
  2. 2. We verify and anonymize the request, then match it to neighbors and donors.
  3. 3. The help reaches home. No medical advice or treatment.
