About ClearHelp
We believe finding help should be simple.
What is this?
ClearHelp is a free platform that connects people to verified local resources — and connects helpers to real opportunities in their communities. No ads. No sign-up. No bureaucracy.
We organize help by what people actually need: food, housing, health care, money, legal aid, and more. Every result shows distance, hours, languages spoken, how to get in, and when you can expect help.
The goal is simple: when someone needs help, they should be able to find it in seconds. When someone wants to help, they should find real, verified ways to do that just as fast.
No ads. No sign-up. No data selling. Ever.
Designed for someone stressed, on a phone, with no time to waste.
English is fully available now. Spanish and Arabic support is in development. If you need help in another language, call 211 — they have interpreters.
Enter your ZIP code to find verified resources near you. Results show distance, hours, languages spoken, and how to get help fast.
Accessibility
ClearHelp is designed to be usable by everyone. We take accessibility seriously because the people who need help most often face the biggest barriers to finding it.
Our accessibility commitments include:
- Large, readable text throughout the site
- High contrast colors that meet WCAG AA standards
- Keyboard navigation support on all pages
- Screen reader compatible structure and labels
- Large touch targets for mobile users
- Simple, plain language — no jargon
- Arabic-ready layout foundations while full locale routing is still in progress
- No meaning conveyed by color alone
If you experience any accessibility issues, please let us know. We want this to work for everyone.
Data Sources
The resources listed on this platform come from a combination of publicly available data, nonprofit directories, community-verified information, and curated local opportunity records.
Our sources include:
- Federal and state government program databases
- Nonprofit organization registries
- United Way / 211 resource listings
- Community health center directories
- Local food bank and pantry networks
- Verified community submissions
We work to keep information accurate and up-to-date. If you find incorrect information, please help us fix it.
Coverage note: ClearHelp is live in select metros now, with broader national coverage still in progress. Some ZIPs and categories still fall back to limited-coverage or sample-result states while data expands.
Privacy
Your privacy matters. Here's what we want you to know:
- We do not require you to sign up or log in
- We do not sell your data
- We do not show ads
- ZIP code searches are not tracked to your identity
- We use minimal analytics to improve the service
This is a public service tool, not a data collection tool.
Our Principles
We built this platform around a simple idea: when someone asks for help, they should receive something real, local, and reachable — not noise.
