About us
The volunteers movement #stayhome is a self-organised group which by using technologies – an app with tasks – helps those most in need.
#stayhome
COVID-19 restrictions can affect us all, but they can be especially dangerous to high risk groups, for example, senior citizens. Them staying at home can save their life. Us, the active ones, can help the people of our city and community by buying groceries, taking a dog for a walk or simply just giving a call for a chat.
