Project tags:

community engagement & outreach

Project poster

Residents in major metropolitan areas can get nearly anything they want to be delivered to their homes but they’re losing touch with their neighborhoods and communities. The Chimney application addresses this issue by enabling people to continue to enjoy the convenience of modern digital life by connecting them with their neighbors for goods and services, forging strong local relationships in the process. Whether it’s borrowing a simple household item or helping out with a small repair, these interactions will support the growth of a safer, more connected and happier community.
