## This is a submission for the Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition
What I Built
Community Needs Board — a simple web app where a small nonprofit can post what they currently need (supplies, volunteer hours, anything), and donors or volunteers can browse the list and mark items as fulfilled.
The idea came from a simple observation: small, local nonprofits often communicate their needs informally, and it's easy for people willing to help to miss it. A shared, always-up-to-date needs board makes it easier for generosity to actually reach the people who need it.
Demo
Try it live: https://community-needs-boar-0wjr.bolt.host
The app is intentionally minimal:
- A nonprofit posts a need, for example "50 bottles of water for the Saturday food drive"
- Each need shows up on a shared board with an open or fulfilled status
- Anyone can mark a need as fulfilled once it's been taken care of
- A live counter shows how many needs are still open
Who It's For
- Small nonprofits and community organizers who don't have the budget or time for a full donation-management platform
- Volunteers and donors who want a quick way to see exactly what's needed right now
What's Next
This was built as a fast, focused weekend project, so it's deliberately simple. Natural next steps: let each nonprofit have its own board and link to share, add categories like supplies, time, and skills, and add simple authentication so only the nonprofit can post new needs.
Sometimes generosity doesn't need a complicated platform, just a clear, shared list of what's actually needed.
Built with Next.js and React, using Bolt.new.
