Living life together.
Right where we live.
FIMBY helps neighbours become more than strangers — sharing life in small, everyday ways that make a place feel like home.
Currently available in Vancouver’s V6A neighbourhood.
Care works best when relationships come first.
In a digital world that keeps us scrolling past one another, the FIMBY app is designed for small, tangible acts of connection — not as transactions, but as shared life.
A Neighborhood Feed: A single space where offering a meal, borrowing a ladder, or sharing a story all belong together.
The Lending Library: A simple way to share what you already have — tools, kitchen gear, camping equipment — because we already live here together.
Spontaneous Presence: A place to offer a ride, last minute Birthday party, an extra set of hands, or a “I’m thinking of you.”
Learning how to care for one another
Care works best when it’s welcomed.
When help arrives without consent, it can feel intrusive — even when it’s well-intentioned. FIMBY includes Support Preferences that let neighbours share, in their own words, how they like to be cared for:
“If life gets heavy, here’s what helps.”
“These things don’t.”
By having these conversations early, we learn how to show up for one another with respect. This isn’t about rescuing. It’s about belonging.
An economy shaped by abundance, not pressure.
When neighbours share what they already have, something shifts. Life stops feeling like a problem to solve and starts feeling shared.
- reducing waste through shared resources
- caring for creation by owning less and sharing more
- Not through guilt or obligation — but through ordinary human rhythms.
Shaping neighbourhoods around attention, not accumulation.
“The biggest problem in the world today is that we draw the circle of our family too small.”
— Mother Teresa
FIMBY helps widen that circle in grounded, neighbour-level ways — mutual care, shared responsibility, genuine community. Not online performance. Not saviourism. Just people, learning how to belong to one another again.
Rooted in an ancient vision. Practiced in modern neighbourhoods.
The early Christian community imagined a way of life where people belonged to one another — where possessions served people, and love crossed social boundaries. FIMBY is a small, practical attempt to live toward that vision today.
Hospitality
instead of isolation.
Stewardship
instead of excess.
Fellowship
instead of fragmentation.
Not perfectly. Not heroically. But together.
