Mutual aid item tracker

Give what you can, take what you need.

A clean, county-by-county board where neighbors share free essentials like cribs, strollers, coats, and school supplies. No ads, no endless scrolling, and no tracking, ever.

How it works

Three simple steps.

Find your area, set how far you will travel, then claim or share. Listings stay up until they are claimed or taken down. Once a week we email the poster to ask whether an item is still available, and anything that goes a full month with no answer comes off the board, so you are not chasing something that is already gone.

1. Find your area

Filter by your state and county to see what families near you are sharing right now.

2. Set your range

Choose the counties you are willing to drive to, so you only see items that are realistic for you to pick up.

3. Claim or share

Claim an item or post one of your own. Your listing stays up until a family claims it or you take it down. Once a week, a quick email asks whether it is still available, and one click keeps it live. It only comes off on its own if a full month passes with no answer.

Post an item

Have something a family could use?

List what you are giving away and where. It stays on the board until a family claims it or you take it down. Once a week we email you a one-click button to confirm the item is still available, and each click keeps it live for another 30 days. If a full month goes by with no answer, it comes off the board, and you can put it back up any time from "Your listings" below. We also email you when someone claims your item or sends you a message about it. When a family claims it, they will see the contact you provide so you can arrange a pickup.

Please list things you would be glad to receive. Clean, whole, and working. Worn or imperfect is welcome, just say so in the details, because a family may drive an hour to pick it up. If someone reports that an item arrived damaged or was not what the listing said, and they send a photo, that report is reviewed by a person. Three upheld reports pause posting for a month, six pause it for six months, and nine close the account.
Meet safely. When you hand off an item, choose a public "safe exchange zone." Many police departments and sheriff's offices offer well-lit, camera-monitored spots for exactly this. Meet during the day, bring a friend if you can, and never share more personal information than you need to.

Your contact is shown only to a family who claims this item. Please share an email or number you are comfortable using, and avoid posting sensitive personal details.

Looking for local services too?

Find food, housing, health, and more near you.

The mutual aid board is for shared items. For food banks, clinics, childcare, and other local help, open the resource map and search by your county.

Stay in the loop

Want to know when this list grows?

We add resources county by county. Once a month we send one email with what is new, what is on the free item board, and the research behind all of it. No account needed.

One click gets you off the list at any time. We never sell or share your information.
