OurStreets is available today with a brand new, easy-to-use flow.

More than ever before, people are looking for ways to stay informed and take control. That’s why we launched OurStreets Supplies last week. Since then, people in nearly 50 states have helped their neighbors find the essentials they need over 2,000 times.

Over the last few days, we’ve heard users all over the country who have used OurStreets to see and share what’s available near them. It has been encouraging receiving emails and seeing reviews that let us know we’re on the right track.

This user found 🧻. We’re stoked.

Many folks have also sent us helpful notes about how we can improve their experience seeing and sharing with neighbors.

It wasn’t clear how to search for available supplies, and it was confusing to have a separate screen to share items with others.

I’m not comfortable using my phone in the grocery store right now. I want to share what I found later from home or outside the store.

And when we went to stores ourselves to use OurStreets, we saw how cumbersome it was to share more than one item at a time.

What’s New

OurStreets Supplies has a brand new, easy to use flow.

📱 Search for stores and share what’s in stock, all from one screen.

📍 Find stores to share from nearby or across town with an improved location search.

🏡 Share later, and share from wherever. There’s no need to share while you’re inside a crowded store. Simply share what was in stock (or not) wherever and whenever you’d like — outside the store, while you’re unlocking your bike, or from the comfort of your home.

🔁 A new continuous user flow allows you to share the availability of multiple items in one go.

We’re very excited about these updates, and we hope you’ll be too. Whether you’re walking or biking for exercise these days, or making quick and efficient shopping choices, OurStreets is here to help make communities safer and healthier.

Download OurStreets from the App Store or Google Play today and let us know what you think!

P.S. Check out the OurStreets Supplies Map, in collaboration with Data Society and powered by Mapbox, viewable now at www.ourstreets.com/supplies. Just like our in-app search, you can search for basic staples like soap, fresh produce, and, of course, toilet paper.
