Relief supplies, claimed,
not piled up

After a storm, the problem isn't generosity. It's the mountain of things nobody asked for. A claim list names exactly what's needed and in what amounts: supporters claim in two taps with no account, quantities count down as they're covered, and when needs change you edit one list instead of posting again.

Create your relief list

Only what you asked for

Claimed items show as taken and quantities count down. When the water is covered, the next supporter sees the diapers. Nothing arrives that you have to sort, store, or turn away.

Changes go out by themselves

Edit the list as the situation moves; the link stays the same. Followers get an email when you add something, at most one a day, so a new need reaches your network without another post.

No account for supporters

Two taps and they're done. When help is urgent, every screen between a supporter and a claimed case of water costs you supplies.

Any store, plain text too

Paste a link from anywhere, or type "work gloves, any brand." Supporters buy where they like, online or in person, and bring it where it's needed.

Staging site stays private

The drop-off address is shown only to someone who has claimed an item, never on the public page. A volunteer's garage doesn't get published to the internet.

Run it as a team

Invite co-managers: one person marks needs met at the staging site while another adds what the next truck should carry. Everyone edits the same list.

How it works

  1. List what's needed

    Be specific and set amounts. "Forty cases of water" beats "water." Plain text works for the rest.

  2. Share one link

    Socials, the mutual aid channel, the church newsletter, or the QR code we make you for the drop-off site.

  3. Watch needs get covered

    Two taps, no account. Quantities count down in real time, and you edit the list as the situation changes.

Questions relief organizers ask

Is EZWishlist free for relief efforts?

Yes. Building and sharing a wishlist is free, and there is no fee on anything a supporter gives. We never handle the money: supporters buy items at whatever store sells them, so the full value of every donation reaches the people you are helping.

Why a claim list instead of a supply drive post?

Because the second truck of used clothes is a burden, not a gift. A claim list names exactly what is needed and in what amounts: claimed items show as taken, quantities count down, and when the water is covered, the next supporter sees the diapers instead. You receive what you asked for and nothing you have to sort, store, or turn away.

Needs change by the hour. Can the list keep up?

Yes, and this is where a living list earns its keep. Edit it as the situation changes and the shared link stays the same. Supporters who follow the list get an email when you add something, at most one a day, so a new need reaches your whole network without another post.

Do supporters need an account?

No. They open the link and claim an item in two taps. No signup, no app, no password. In the first days after a storm, that difference is measured in cases of water.

Where do supplies ship?

Add the staging site or drop-off address to the list. It is shown only to a supporter who has actually claimed an item, never on the public page, so a church hall or a volunteer's garage is not published to the whole internet.

Can several coordinators manage one list?

Yes. Whoever creates the list can invite others to help manage it, and everyone invited can add and edit items. The person at the staging site can mark needs met while someone else adds what the next truck should carry; supporters claiming still need no account.

What about needs with no product link?

Type them in as plain text: "work gloves, any brand" or "an hour with a chainsaw" sit on the list next to linked items, with quantities if you need them. Not everything a relief effort needs has a product page.

Can we run one list before disaster season?

Yes. A preparedness list works the same way: hurricane kits, sandbags, first aid restocks. Keep it going year round and the same followers who covered it in June will hear from it in September.
