Food pantries and community kitchens
Tell donors exactly what the kitchen needs this week.
Post a wishlist with quantities, share the link, and donors pledge the items you're short on and pick when they'll drop them off. Your volunteers know what's coming, and your inventory knows what arrived.
What does your kitchen need this week?
- 1
Post it
Post what you need
Rice, oil, diapers, gloves: items with quantities, a photo and where to drop them off.
A list for every program
One wishlist for the pantry, another for the community kitchen, another for the holiday drive.
No more forty cans of beans
The list shows how many of each item are still needed, so donors bring what you're short on.
- 2
Pledged
Donors pledge a drop-off
They pick an item and how many, and choose a drop-off date and time.
Drop-offs you can staff
Every pledge comes with a date and time, so volunteers know when to be at the door.

Checked in
Check it in
When the donation arrives, mark what was actually received. The donor gets a receipt.
Pledged versus received
Donorly keeps what was promised apart from what actually arrived.
Receipts for every donor
Item donors get an in-kind receipt by email when you check their donation in.

On the shelf
On hand and given out
Inventory tracks what's on the shelf, what went out to families and how much of each list was filled.
What about the food you have to buy?
Next to the wishlist, put up a donation page with a goal for the food you have to buy. Donors give with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card, once or monthly, and print a QR sign for the door.

Can donors see what's still needed?+
Yes. Your public wishlist shows each item and how many are still needed, and updates as people pledge.
Do donors get a receipt for food and supplies?+
Yes. When you mark their donation received, Donorly emails them a receipt describing what they gave.
Can we run more than one list?+
Yes. Make a list per program, site or drive, each with its own public page.
Does it work for a langar or a church kitchen?+
Yes. Any kitchen that relies on donated ingredients can post a list, and the pages work in English, Spanish, Punjabi and Vietnamese.
