Baby items, food assistance, and local family programs. Everything here is free to use, and asking is nothing to be ashamed of. We built this so neighbors can show up for each other.

All three are free, and none of them ask you to prove you deserve help. If you need it, it's yours.
Neighbors give away cribs, strollers, car seats, clothes, and school supplies. Browse by county, pick how far you can travel, and claim what you need. The board just launched, so if your county is quiet, you're early. Posting and sharing helps it grow.

Search food resourcesLocal programs for housing, childcare, health, technology, and more, mapped county by county so you can see exactly what's available where you live.
Open the mapSocial media giveaway groups are crowded and easy to miss. Ours is organized, current, and private.
Most families are eligible for programs they have never applied to. WIC reaches fewer than half the children who qualify, and one in five eligible workers never claims a tax credit worth thousands. Answer five things and see what is probably yours.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends raising a child often qualify for a monthly child-only payment, health coverage for the child, and school enrollment without a court order, and most never hear it. One page, by state and county, with the official source for every rule.
Offices count how many people they serve. Nobody counts the hours, trips, and stress it took the family. Our anonymous survey does, county by county, and the number goes to the offices and funders who can change it.
Most families who lose SNAP or Medicaid lose it at the renewal date, not the application. Tell us your programs and dates and we will email you before each one with the papers to gather. Free, no account, no case numbers.
Most families hit a stretch where things are tight. That's exactly why this exists. No applications, no waiting lists, no one checking your story. Just neighbors who had something to give, and you, who needed it.
That crib in the garage or the coats your kids outgrew could be exactly what a nearby family is looking for this week.
We add resources county by county. Once a month we send one email with what is new, what is on the Family Barter System, and the research behind all of it. No account needed.
