Community review
“I kept thinking it should be easy to meet people in a smaller town, but somehow it felt harder. Local Host helped me find an event around something I already loved, and I ended up meeting one of my best friends there.”

Why Local Host exists

We wanted community to feel close again

Local Host was born from a desire to deeply connect with the people around us and restore a stronger sense of community within the town we call home.

The beginning

Redding has more to share than a calendar can show

Redding is a unique place. It brings together longtime locals, families, entrepreneurs, creatives, outdoor people, makers and people arriving with completely different stories. What can be difficult is knowing where those people are gathering and how to move from living in the same town to actually knowing one another.

Local Host was created to make those connections easier to find.

The goal

Build stronger connections between people, events and local places

We want someone to be able to start with a simple thought like “I want to get out of the house,” “I want to meet creative people,” or “I want to support something local” and immediately find a path into the community around them.

The platform is intentionally focused on Redding so the relationships, businesses and experiences can keep building on one another instead of disappearing into a giant national directory.
