Hi! This is our new manual for the Help-a-Family project.

Help-a-Family is a piece of software that makes it easy for charitable organizations serving families in need to connect with community members who want to help families.

Help comes in the form of:

  • In-kind donations of used or new supplies

  • Monetary donations via credit card

  • Volunteer hours given to the organization

  • Help from an organization who wants to partner to help families in need

Target audiences for this documentation:

  • Anyone who wants to set up an instance of the helpafamily project for a charitable organization

  • Anyone who wants to contribute to the codebase of the helpafamily project

  • Anyone who wants to connect a project to the helpafamily APIs (forthcoming)

We need your help writing documentation for Help-a-Family. To start:

  • Follow the instructions in

  • Submit a PR correcting any typo you find. This will give you practice.

  • Then try documenting something for any of the above target audiences.
