Donate Clothes NYC and Give Away Free Stuff | Givore

Donate clothes in NYC, straight to a neighbor.

Givore is a free app for giving away things you are done with. You post an item, somebody nearby asks for it, and they come and collect. Nobody pays anybody. It works for a bag of sweaters, and it works for the desk you never sit at.

One bag of clothes, four ways out the door.

All four of these work. They cost you different amounts of effort, and they end in different places.

A clothing bin

Fastest of the four. You drop the bag and walk away. You will never know where any of it went.

Goodwill or a thrift store

Good for volume, and they sort things properly. You do have to get there during opening hours, bag in hand.

A Buy Nothing group

Warm and very local. Joining takes a while, posts scroll past quickly, and volunteers carry the whole thing.

Givore

You photograph the bag and a neighbor comes to your door for it. Sorted by distance, not by who shouted first.

The post most people never think to write

Give Away

The usual one. A photo, a line of description, and where you are. It takes about half a minute.

Looking For

You say what you need instead. A winter coat in a size 12, a bookshelf under four feet tall.

Why it helps

Half the things in a closet are invisible until somebody asks. A request reminds people what they have.

Begin with the closet by the door.

Pull out the coat you have not worn in two winters. Somebody a few blocks away is cold.

Questions from New York

No. It is a free app between neighbors. Nothing is sold and nothing is bought, but there is no receipt either, so it will not work as a tax write-off.
Post it and say clearly that collection is on the taker. Somebody with a van or a folding back seat can say yes. Mention the floor and whether there is an elevator.
Anything clean with no holes, no missing buttons and a working zipper. Coats and kids' clothes go fastest. Worn-out socks and underwear belong in the trash.
Not yet. It is new here. The map fills up when people post, so the first useful thing you can do is put something on it.
