For food pantries, clothing closets, shelters and drives
Give what’s actually needed.
Nonprofits log donations at the door, and their public needs list updates itself. Donors bring what’s missing, shelves stay balanced, and every item is counted.

The problem
Generous communities, unbalanced shelves
Most small nonprofits track donations on paper or a shared spreadsheet. The result is a closet full of T-shirts with no winter coats, donors who can’t see what’s needed, and impact numbers that are hard to prove to funders.
Without a system
- Donors guess what to bring, so popular items pile up while basics run out.
- Volunteers sort into boxes nobody can find later.
- Expired food is discovered too late.
- Donation receipts and grant reports are rebuilt by hand.
With KindStock
- Every donation is logged in under a minute on a tablet at the door.
- The public needs list updates itself from real stock levels.
- Items expiring soon are flagged on the dashboard.
- Receipts and impact reports are one click away.
How it works
From the front door to the family
-
Log it in
Volunteers pick a category, enter sizes or expiration dates, and accept or reject each item with a reason. The donor gets a receipt.
-
Shelves update the needs list
Each category has a target level. When stock falls below it, the item moves up the public needs list, marked urgent, needed or running low.
-
Give it out and report
Staff record what goes out without storing names of the people served. Reports show items in and out for any date range.

Built for any nonprofit
One platform, your categories
Your own fields
A pantry tracks expiration dates; a closet tracks sizes. Each organization sets up its own categories and fields.
Roles that fit
Admins, managers, intake volunteers and distribution staff each see only the tools they need.
Donor receipts
Written acknowledgments list what was given and its condition, following IRS guidance for charities.
Privacy first
Distributions use reference codes, not names, so the families you serve stay private.
