Gov SNAP Co‑Op Gameboard

Base: progress & badges

Complete missions to power up your base: at‑home work, meal planning, and neighbor sharing. Keep the household together and privacy intact.

Neighbors & friend graph

Link nearby households for ingredient sharing, co‑op missions, and garden days. Your data is private by default.

Coordinate via your preferred messaging apps. Never share sensitive info or benefits.

Daily missions: at‑home work earns points

✔ Recognition: At‑home work is real work. Log and celebrate contributions.

Planned meals (reduce waste)

Plan meals for the week. Link ingredients to pantry. Flag items that may spoil soon to share with neighbors.

Pantry & “spoil soon” radar

✔ Share ingredients, not benefits or EBT access.

Neighbor ingredient/resource exchange

Neighbors can post surplus or requests and match to reduce waste and complete meals or projects.

Co‑op missions (open‑ended)

• Shared projects: Define a local mission (e.g., event, build, cleanup).
• Resource pooling: Bulk buying or tool rotation.
• Garden co‑op: Plant, water, harvest schedule.
• Errand batching: Carpool routes and fewer trips.
• Care rotation: Safe, scheduled swaps for caregiving.

✔ Outcome: Lower costs, less waste, more peace.
