Volunteering in Berkeley

The right ask at the right moment: the cleanup this Saturday, the food bank short on hands, the mentoring gig that fits your schedule.

Most people would volunteer more if the ask arrived at the right moment. Tell Peachy what moves you and when you're free, and Saturday morning your phone buzzes: the food bank two miles away is short four pairs of hands, and two of them are yours.

Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Show me volunteer opportunities within 15 miles, weekends only.”

“Buzz me when a mutual aid request is urgent.”

“Surface recurring gigs. I'd rather commit than drop in.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
