LoopHood: Local Marketplace

Find the help you need, right in your neighborhood.

Exchange services, rent gear, and request or trade products with people nearby. LoopHood is your neighborhood marketplace for putting your time, tools, and talents to use.

Request what you need. Offer what you can.

EXCHANGE SERVICES

Need babysitting, house cleaning, or help assembling furniture? Post what you need and offer a service, item, or optional budget in return.

Trade tutoring for dog walking. Exchange baking for furniture assembly. Offer yard work in return for cleaning help. Find an arrangement that works for both neighbors.

Everyday service ideas include:
• Babysitting and childcare
• House cleaning and laundry
• Furniture assembly and moving help
• Dog walking and pet care
• Lawn care, yard work, and snow shoveling
• Tutoring, errands, and shopping help

No time to exchange? Add a budget to your request. We call it $GOT, the Gift of Thanks, so neighbors know what you’re offering for their help. You can include both an exchange offer and a $GOT budget in the same request.

RENT GEAR

Try it before you buy it. Rent it from a neighbor.

Thinking about a paddleboard? Need a tool for one project? Explore local rentals for tools, equipment, and outdoor gear without committing to buying something you may only use once.

Rent what you need, when you need it. Have useful equipment sitting idle? Make it available for neighbors to rent.

REQUEST AND TRADE PRODUCTS

Looking for a specific item? Start with a request and let nearby people who have it respond.

Offer something you own in exchange. Trade items you no longer use for something you need, or give things away to a neighbor who can use them.

From household items and furniture to tools and outdoor gear, discover the value already around you.
