FiRL (Friends in Real Life) is about community.
Everyday is a day to connect with our friends, our families, and our community.
Life loving, life giving, and life restoring behaviors are critical to our well-being.
Let’s bring people together in real life, focusing on common interests and celebrating each other’s unique gifts.
When our neighbors succeed, our community grows stronger, so we prioritize working with and supporting local business owners.
Welcome to FiRL, a social restoration platform for local communities.
”Humans need others to survive. Regardless of one’s sex, country or culture of origin, or age or economic background, social connection is crucial to human development, health, and survival. The evidence supporting this contention is unequivocal. When considering the umbrella term social connection and its constituent components, there are perhaps no other factors that can have such a large impact on both length and quality of life—from the cradle to the grave. Yet, social connection is largely ignored as a health determinant because public and private stakeholders are not entirely sure how to act.”

FiRL is a catalyst….
Social connection requires each of us to feel confident to meet new people, share our unique gifts, and have places to gather and interact. FiRL is building a portfolio of products and services to ignite social restoration and strengthen our local communities.
We need your help to ignite social restoration.
FiRL needs your support. We operate as a for-profit business and rely on traditional commerce, branding, and advertising to support our mission. We will not use or sell your information for our financial gain.
Support small businesses in your community.
Small businesses are the economic foundation of our local communities. Support your friends and neighbors by hosting events and gatherings with the help of local businesses.
