Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Minnesota's largest mutual aid network had no web presence. I designed and built their entire digital platform — from a trilingual public website to a full content management system.

The Problem

Starting from literally nothing.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors was doing massive community work — coordinating hundreds of volunteers, processing rent assistance, connecting families with resources — but had zero digital infrastructure. No website. No way for the public to find them, apply for help, or volunteer.

An organization serving thousands of people in the Twin Cities had no front door.

The Solution

A complete digital presence.

Trilingual public website
A full public site in English, Spanish, and Somali — serving the communities NHN actually works with. Mission, how-it-works, media coverage, and a transparency page showing exactly where every dollar goes.
Rent assistance applications
A dynamic application system with a weekly window (opens Friday, closes Sunday). Includes a directory of 150+ emergency housing resources organized by county and city for people who need help right now.
Live impact stats
Real-time numbers pulled from the database — volunteers applied, vetted carers, funds raised, rent distributed. The public can see exactly what NHN is doing at any moment.
Content management system
A custom-built admin platform so the NHN team can manage everything themselves — stats, finances, announcements, events, FAQ, and more. Draft, preview on a dev site, then publish to production. No developer needed for day-to-day updates.
Full transparency
A detailed financial transparency page showing fundraising partners, spending categories, and a versioned changelog of financial updates. Because mutual aid runs on trust.
The Result

From zero to this.

NHN went from no web presence to a platform that serves thousands of people — with a team that can manage it all themselves. The organization now processes 70+ requests daily.

"From literally nothing to a complete digital presence — designed, built, and handed over."

This project shows the full range: brand design, web development, content systems, multilingual support, and operational tools. If you need someone who can do all of it, not just one piece — that's what Bauwerk Form Co. is for.
