Pantoh Commons

The Pantoh App

About this app

Pantoh Commons connects people to life-saving community resources and cultural community events. Whether you need a food pantry this week or want to find the cultural potluck this Saturday, Pantoh Commons is built around one principle: we connect you to anything you need to find belonging. Anyone is welcome.

WHAT YOU CAN FIND
• Food access — pantries, community fridges, SNAP retailers, free meals, WIC
• Shelter — emergency, transitional, cooling and warming centers
• Health — free clinics, vaccines, mental health services
• Legal aid — immigration, housing, eviction defense
• Cultural events — potlucks, community festivals, mutual aid gatherings, language circles

OPEN DOOR — NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED
- Tap "Open Door Mode" and the entire resource directory opens to you. No sign-in, no email, no tracking, no profile. Pantoh Commons does not collect personal information from Open Door visitors. Period.

COMPASS — YOUR GUIDE
- Compass shows verified resources on a map and a list, filtered by what matters to you. Tap any resource for hours, contact info, and what to
expect. Resources marked sensitive — like domestic violence shelters or reproductive health — never share their address in notifications and never appear in cross-app suggestions.

COMMUNITY BULLETIN
- Verified partner organizations post announcements, alerts, volunteer requests, and fundraisers. Follow the orgs you care about and get the updates that matter — no algorithmic feed, no ads.

CULTURAL EVENTS
- RSVP to community gatherings, share what you're bringing to a potluck, and discover the cooking circles, language groups, and celebrations happening near you.
