As the state of emergency drags on and some people still trapped in their homes, many are running out of certain essentials.

Some are turning to Need Something? Got Something?—a Facebook page with nearly 20,000 members.

The page was created to help connect people who own gently used items they no longer want with those in genuine need.

Everything on the page is free—whether its food donations, furniture, diapers or formula.

Carla Crotty, who created the group, says at times like this, items available for free are really important.

She says the page has seen an increase from vulnerable members who are running out of essential items.

While many have had the daunting task of digging out their cars, others have pre-existing barriers when it comes to transportation. Many people don’t have vehicles, and rely solely on public transportation to get groceries, or to their appointments.

Crotty reiterates when Metrobus isn’t running, getting out is difficult.
