- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- Prevalence + cost + lack of rarely-used but necessary items (ex. vacuums, drills, shoe glue, eyeglass repair kits, sewing machines, bike tire pumps, etc.) People's income is going down, but cost of living is increasing. We can barely afford necessities, not to mention these rarely-used items.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- A system that operates like a library, but people can check out useful items and return them later. People can donate items or loan out items as well as make requests. The money will go towards buying items, paying staff, repair and upkeep of items, and insurance.
- Please provide your Zip Code
