Public-safe
General calls for produce, helpers, clean containers, preserving days, working bee meals or open cook-up times.
Private boards are food-front logistics.
Most resilience work belongs inside trusted groups: garden harvests, pantry gaps, freezer space, transport, meal timing, preserving days, allergies and who quietly needs a hand.
Draft a message people can act on.
Choose the message type and copy the result into your trusted group chat, private board, email list or paper note.
When a post goes public, make it smaller.
A public notice should only carry what strangers need: what is happening, when, where, how to contact the organiser, when the notice expires and what safety limits apply. The real food map stays with the trusted group.
Keep private
Addresses, health details, vulnerable people, private donor lists, exact household pantry gaps and unverified claims.
Paper fallback
Print simple versions for kitchens, clubs, ferry noticeboards or offline days.
