A local tech startup has a new name, a new app, and several new initiatives that will make it easier for people to help their communities.

Do Some Good, formerly known as Volinspire, held a relaunch party Monday night at the Okanagan Centre for Innovation to unveil its new look and features.

“Anyone can make an impact in the community simply by using their smart phone,” Do Some Good operations manager Jeff Hoffart said.

Not only can users of the app find volunteer opportunities throughout their community, but they can also identify and support the businesses that give money back to the community through Do Some Good. The consumer can also choose which charity receives the rebate.
