Our Mission

Lichen.fyi connects communities by making it easy to share and discover resources, offers, and requests in your area. Whether you need food, shelter, services, medical aid, legal assistance, or donations, or you have something to offer—this platform helps neighbors support neighbors.

We believe in mutual aid, community care, and keeping resources accessible to everyone who needs them.
