How to donate an item, step by step

  1. Step 1: Create an account and sign in

    Register as a donor and sign in. The first time, you are asked to accept the current Privacy Policy and Terms before you can use your account.

  2. Step 2: Open the donation form

    Go to Donate and choose to give an item. Add a clear title, pick a category, choose the condition and enter the quantity. A short description is optional but helps people decide.

  3. Step 3: Add the pickup details

    Enter the pickup address and an optional landmark, then the country, state, city and PIN code. Add a 10-digit mobile number for pickup and any notes about when you are available.

  4. Step 4: Add photos

    You can add up to 5 photos. Clear photos of the actual item help receivers know what they are asking for.

  5. Step 5: Preview, then post or save a draft

    Check everything on the preview page. Post it to make it live straight away, or save it as a draft and finish it later from My Donations.

  6. Step 6: Accept a request

    When someone requests your item, you get a notification. Open the donation and accept the request. Only then can you and the requester see each other’s contact details to arrange pickup.

  7. Step 7: Hand it over and mark it done

    After the handover, mark the donation as handed over. It is then completed and its status stays accurate for everyone.

Safety tips

  • Your phone number is shared only with the person whose request you accept.
  • Items here are given as donations. Never ask for or accept payment for them.
  • Check the item before the handover and describe any defects honestly in the listing.

What happens next

  • If no one comes for pickup, choose “No one came”. The request closes and the item is open for new requests.
  • A request that is not completed expires after 48 hours. You can then republish the item so others can ask for it.

How to request a donated item, step by step

  1. Step 1: Find an item near you

    Browse donations and use the category and location filters to see what is available in your city.

  2. Step 2: Sign in and open the item

    Open the donation to see its photos, condition, quantity and area. You need to be signed in to send a request.

  3. Step 3: Send your request

    Write a short message, enter the quantity you need and say who it is for. You cannot request your own donation, and only one request can be active on an item at a time.

  4. Step 4: Wait for the owner to accept

    You can send up to 5 requests a day (verified NGOs are not limited). Donors can keep up to 3 open requests for someone else. When the owner accepts, you can see their contact details.

  5. Step 5: Collect the item and confirm

    Agree on a pickup time with the owner, collect the item and confirm that you received it from your requests page.

  6. Step 6: Request surplus food too

    Receivers can also request food listed on the Food Rescue board. You can hold up to 2 open food pickups at a time, so collect one before you request another.

  7. Step 7: Keep track of your requests

    Your dashboard lists every request with its current status, so you can see whether it is pending, accepted, expired or completed.

Safety tips

  • Contact details appear only after the owner accepts your request.
  • Donated items are free. Do not pay anyone for an item listed here.
  • Arrange pickup at the address and time agreed in the app, and tell the owner if your plans change.

What happens next

  • If the owner does not act within 48 hours, your request may expire and the item can be posted again.
  • If the owner marks “No one came”, your request is closed and you get a notification.
  • If a request expires after 48 hours, you can request the item again once the donor republishes it.
