Free volunteer software for food banks & pantries

Built for How a Food Bank Actually Runs.

Schedule your sort and distribution shifts, check volunteers in, and track every hour for your grant reports — in software built by people who’ve worked food relief, not a company that’s only sold it.

Set us up — free, no card

Free forever · no setup fee · running in about 15 minutes.

Set up in minutes

A week of shifts, faster than finding the sign-up sheet.

Sort shifts, box packing, the Saturday line — lay out a recurring schedule once and it repeats itself. Volunteers claim a time from your page or an embeddable widget, no account or application in the way.

Volunteer hours logged automatically by geofence, ready for a grant report
Hours, handled

Every hour logged — without the clipboard.

Returning volunteers check in on their own when their phone reaches the pantry. The hours land in a report a funder will accept, so you’re never reconciling a coffee-stained sheet the night before a grant is due.

A searchable volunteer database that builds itself from every signup
Proof of a real program

A volunteer database that builds itself.

Every signup and walk-in quietly becomes a searchable record — the working-program proof your board and grant applications keep asking for, and you never typed a row of it. Short-handed this Saturday? Text or email the whole list in one shot.

Paper sign-ups for walk-ins

Print a sheet with a QR code — folks fill it in by hand and it scans itself into your records. No app required, no retyping that night.

Groups in one step

Corporate teams, church groups, and scout troops sign up together — the whole crew on the schedule with a single link.

Thank-yous that send themselves

Reminders and follow-ups go out on their own, so the people who show up once are invited back before you’re short.

“Finding volunteers who stick takes months, not days — anyone promising you a full Saturday crew by next week is selling you something.” What the software does is make sure the people already looking for a way to help can find your sort and distribution shifts — and the ones who show up don’t quietly disappear.

Serve.Love was built in the middle of tornado relief — moving food, and the volunteers behind it, when a spreadsheet wasn’t enough. Today it runs live shifts for Meals on Wheels and backs a public directory of 129 verified pantries. No company selling “volunteer management software” has run a distribution day. We have.

Free forever, no card — and you’re running in about 15 minutes.
