About Myilk

In an ever-divided society, we exist to bridge those divides and un-alienate people together on common objectives for others in life.

Why Myilk?

We live in a time of unprecedented connection — and unprecedented isolation. Social media connects us digitally while often driving us further apart in real life. Neighborhoods become places where strangers live side by side. Common ground gives way to division.

Myilk is built on a simple belief: when people help each other face to face, divides dissolve. A guitar lesson, help with a garden, shared knowledge about taxes or technology — these small exchanges of skill and time create bonds that transcend the labels we give each other.

How It Works

Volunteer

Offer your skills freely to help a neighbor in need. No exchange required — just the desire to make your community stronger.

Barter

Trade skills with your neighbors. You teach guitar, they help with plumbing. No money changes hands — just knowledge and time.

Local Connections

Myilk is organized by zip code to ensure you connect with people in your own community. Change starts at home.

Safety First

Your safety matters. When connecting with community members through Myilk, we encourage you to:

  • Always arrange first meetings in a public space (coffee shop, library, community center)
  • Let someone you trust know where you will be and who you are meeting
  • Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it's okay to decline
  • Start small. A brief public meetup to see if you are a good match
  • Never share personal financial information or send money

Our Values

Common Purpose

We focus on what unites us, not what divides us. Skills, needs, and the desire to help — these are universal.

Local First

Real community is built face to face. We organize by zip code because your neighbors are your community.

Generosity of Spirit

Whether volunteering or bartering, every exchange on Myilk is rooted in the willingness to share what you know.

Bridge, Don't Divide

We actively work to connect people across all of life's dividing lines. On Myilk, what matters is what you can do and what you need.
