Short answer
Help Me is launching in Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead first, one zone at a time. If you live in a smaller town nearby, like Harwood, Casselton, Kindred, or Glyndon, you can still ask for and offer small favors in the metro where you shop, work, and study. The app shows what is open near you.
The facts, in one place
- Help Me launches in Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead first.
- Nearby towns are covered here instead of with a page each.
- Most small favors happen in metro lots, libraries, and stores you already visit.
- Help Me is not an emergency service. In danger, call 911.
How the towns fit in
North Dakota towns like Harwood, Casselton, Kindred, Mapleton, Argusville, and Oxbow sit in Cass County. Minnesota towns like Glyndon, Sabin, Hawley, and Barnesville sit in Clay County. Their residents tend to live in one place and run errands in another, which is exactly where a small favor tends to come up.
Help Me opens one zone at a time, starting in Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead. The app shows whether your area is open. If it is not yet, you can still join the TestFlight beta and ask or answer in the places that are open, like the metro library you already visit.
What this looks like in practice
A phone charger at a Moorhead library on your lunch break. Directions to the right building on a campus you have never visited. Two more hands for a couch at a friend's place in West Fargo. A jump start in a busy lot after work. These are small, public, and over in minutes.
Meet in public by default, in daylight when you can. Nothing in Help Me asks you to invite anyone to your home.
- Ask for the small stuff in the metro place you are already headed to.
- Offer a hand when you are out running errands in Fargo, West Fargo, or Moorhead.
- Keep the handoff short, public, and in daylight.
Official numbers near you
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number. For non-emergency needs in smaller towns, your county sheriff, your city office, and 211 are the right starting points. The resources section lists the official offices for Cass and Clay Counties.
Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. You can report or block any member at any time.
