Circular Philadelphia
🎯 Opportunity Overview
Most Philadelphians want to donate furniture, repair what they own, recycle responsibly, but finding accurate information takes detective work. People spend 30 minutes searching online, make multiple phone calls, and still end up having to putt usable items on the curb. This happens thousands of times a day, especially in communities with the fewest accessible options. ResourcePhilly.org fixes that by giving residents one simple, searchable place to find donation centers, repair shops, recycling options, composting sites, and secondhand stores. As a volunteer for this project, your job is simple but powerful: share ResourcePhilly with 20 people so more Philadelphians know this tool exists.
