Any alternatives to simple functions like Microsoft Lists/Sharepoint? (lemmy.ca)

I volunteer at a very small non-profit (4 volunteers) which delivers food vouchers and clothes to needy people. The software we use is really ancient and isn't going to keep working. I need something super simple to keep a database of contacts (phone # / addresses, date they last received money) and an ability to create delivery lists grouping contacts together. Really super basic requirements. We'll use Microsoft Lists+Sharepoint like I would at work, but need to buy subscriptions for everyone. Just seeing if there are alternatives.

Depends how long is that list but wouldn't a spreadsheet be enough to keep that kind of records? You could save it in a privacy respecting cloud too. And it wouldn't need a powerful computer to be accessed.

LibreOffice is a Libre software (meaning its free as in free beer and free as in freedom: you can use however you wish) that comes with an alternative to Microsoft Word and one to Microsoft Excel. It works on Mac, Windows and Linux.

I have limited needs but it perfectly replaced Word and Excel for my use case.

If you don't mind using Google products there is also their free (as in free beer) online alternative Google Docs and and Google Sheets, which work in most browsers.
