A wishlist for the community
your residents call home

Activity supplies, comfort items, and resident wishes on one list, from any store. Share one link with families, neighbors, and the church group that keeps asking how to help. They claim items in two taps with no account, and packages arrive at your front desk. Every resident covered once, nobody covered twice.

Create your community list

Comfort, named exactly

Large-print books, lap blankets, the puzzles with the bigger pieces. Link the exact item and that is what arrives for your residents.

Any store, one list

Paste a link from anywhere, or type "greeting cards for residents to send" for the things with no product page. It all lands on the same list.

No account for givers

Families, neighbors, and school groups claim in two taps with no login and no app. The people who want to help get to help, in under a minute.

Every resident, covered once

Claimed wishes show as taken, so holiday drives cover everyone instead of doubling up on the first few names. Stale claims free back up on their own.

Ships to the front desk

Your address is shown only to someone who has claimed an item, never on the public page. Packages arrive ready for the activity room.

One list, all year

Supporters can follow the list and hear when you add something, at most one email a day. New month, new programs, and the word goes out by itself.

How it works

  1. List what residents need

    Paste links to exact items, type in the rest, set quantities on the things everyone uses.

  2. Share one link

    Family newsletters, the community Facebook group, or the QR code we make you for the lobby board.

  3. Givers claim items

    Two taps, no account. Claimed items show as taken, and packages ship straight to you.

Questions care communities ask

Is EZWishlist free for senior care communities?

Yes. Building and sharing a wishlist is free, with no fee on anything a supporter gives. We never handle the money: supporters buy the item at whatever store sells it, so the full value of every gift reaches your residents.

What kinds of items work on a senior care list?

Anything with a product page, and anything without one. Large-print books, puzzles, yarn for the knitting circle, a CD player for music hour, lap blankets. For the rest, type it in as plain text: "greeting cards for residents to send" sits on the list next to the linked items.

Do families and community members need an account?

No. They open your link and claim an item in two taps. No signup, no app, no password. That matters when the people who most want to help include folks who would rather not create yet another login.

How do we run an adopt-a-resident or holiday drive?

Put each wish on the list with a plain-text note like "warm cardigan, size L" and set the quantity. Claims are anonymous by default and claimed items show as taken, so every resident is covered once and nobody is covered twice. Wishes stay dignified: no names need to appear on the public page.

Where do items ship?

Add your community's address to the list. It is shown only to someone who has actually claimed an item, never on the public page. Packages arrive at the front desk, ready for the activity room.

Our activity calendar changes every month. Do we rebuild the list?

No, keep one list going all year. Edit it as programs change, and supporters who follow the list get an email when you add something, at most one a day. The families, churches, and school groups who want to help hear about new needs without another round of calls.

Can more than one staff member manage the list?

Yes. Whoever creates the list can invite others to help manage it, and everyone invited can add and edit items. The activity director, the volunteer coordinator, and the front desk can keep it current together; supporters claiming from the list still need no account.

Can we see who gave what?

Claims are anonymous by default, which keeps giving comfortable for families with very different budgets. The people managing the list see what is claimed, never who claimed it. If you want to thank givers, ask for a name in the claim note.
