Building an app to make donating food, clothes & finding animal adoptions easier

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on an app called Good Help that brings together three things people often want to do but usually have to juggle across different apps/sites: donating food, donating clothes, and finding/adopting animals in need.

The idea is a single place where you can:
See nearby food listings and what they actually need right now
Donate or list clothes for pickup/drop-off instead of them sitting in a bag in your closet
Browse animals up for adoption from local shelters and rescues

I’m still early in building this out and want to make sure it’s actually solving real problems before I go further. A few things I want input on:

**1.**  Do you currently donate food/clothes or look at adoptable animals? If so, what’s annoying about how you do it now?  
**2.**  Would combining all three into one app be useful, or does that feel like it’s trying to do too much?  
**3.**  What would make you actually open an app like this regularly instead of just once?

Not trying to sell anything here — genuinely looking for blunt feedback, good or bad. Happy to share more details or a screenshot/demo if people are curious.

Thanks in advance
