Membership

Getting help is free. Membership is for the people who help.

The free side — a neighbor finding food, rent help, or a safe place — never costs anyone a dime. Membership pays for the map, the researcher, and the free door. And the price falls as the network grows.

We’re new. We’re real. Come build it with us.

The Care Network is just getting started in Catawba County. Join now and you’re a founding member: you help shape the tools while we build them, and your founding status stays with you. Fair warning, kept plain: some tools are still rough. You’re not buying a finished product — you’re building one with us.

How the price works

One simple price. It falls as we grow. You can earn half of it back.

It starts at $100 a month

That’s the whole price for full membership. No levels to climb, no surprise add-ons.

It falls as we grow

Every time the network adds 200 members, the monthly price drops — for everyone, new and old alike. Growth makes it cheaper, not pricier.

Earn up to half back

Genuinely help — answer a neighbor’s question, share what worked — and earn up to 50% of your dues back each month. Sharing what didn’t work, honestly, counts just as much.

Why dues — not ads, and never your data

We don’t sell what you ask, run ads, or rent your attention. The people who get real value from the tools pay for them, and that keeps the help free for everyone else. Up to half of your dues can come back to you for genuinely helping. The rest keeps the lights on and the door free.

The Care Network shows what's really here, says plainly what it doesn't know, and leaves every decision to you. We're new, and building in the open — with the people of Catawba County first.
