Imagine A World with All Needs Met: Introducing A Network for Good Starting Right Here in SWFL
In the wake of Hurricane Ian’s devastation in Southwest Florida in September 2022, another storm was brewing. Two philanthropists and business professionals who helped fulfill immediate needs from the devastation were thinking about this storm, all the while wondering how this would eclipse every other humanitarian need that would remain after the cleanup.
Realizing that humanitarian work is never done but could be better promoted and acted upon, Roger and Terry Linde started discussing a way to establish a movement. They envisioned a network for good, saying, “Let’s figure out an easier way to give back to our communities, pay it forward, love thy neighbor, commit random acts of kindness, care for our furry friends, be a friend to a lonely neighbor, and practice compassion toward everyone.”
And then they built it!
Introducing People and Pets Network, starting right here in Southwest Florida. Founders Roger and Terry’s vision manifested in an innovative online platform designed to seamlessly connect individuals with local businesses for services while simultaneously contributing to humanitarian and animal welfare efforts. Born from Roger’s lifelong commitment to aiding the underprivileged, whether human or animal, and Terry’s shrewd business acumen, the People and Pets Network initiative seeks to offer a triple-win scenario—benefiting customers, businesses, and non-profits alike.
People and Pets Network is an online professional source for finding any service – a plumber, a pet sitter, a physician, or a volunteer. There are 170 categories for finding the best professionals, and when visiting the new peopleandpetsnetwork.com website, the first category is “Humanitarian Services.”
People and Pets Network stands out not just for its noble cause but also for its user-friendly approach. Consumers sign up for free and can submit requests for themselves or someone else in need of assistance or service for humanitarian, pet, home, professional, or health services and much more. Non-profits like churches and service organizations also register and advertise for free and can easily fulfill humanitarian requests that fit their schedule and talents. Businesses sign up for only $5 per month per county category for unlimited leads to increase revenue, and they, too, can fulfill chosen humanitarian requests.
The concept is uniting, trusted, and works beautifully for all service categories. For example, sign-ups seeking to install ceiling fans make a specific request and then collect professional bids to effortlessly find and choose the right electrician for the job. Electricians registered in the system can choose to bid on the job depending on their current workload and specialty. Requestors trust the network because any required licenses can be viewed, and there is a blind rating system for all parties.
People and Pets Network plans quick expansion to promote a future where every service transaction is trusted, familiar, and meaningful, highlighting Roger and Terry’s founding vision of a world made better through locals helping locals.
Will you start today in your SWFL community? Consumers sign up to connect with professionals when they’re needed most. Pros and non-profits sign up to get unlimited leads and advertise with no binding contracts. And all are invited to use the humanitarian network at www.peopleandpetsnetwork.com.
