Who it's for
For food pantries, soup kitchens and any nonprofit that runs the same shifts every week. Set up one week of shifts with the right head counts, extend it forward as many weeks as you need, and share the link. Volunteers claim what they can. You see coverage per shift, and you can share a link that shows only the open spots when you're short.
What's on the page

Questions people ask
- How do I keep it going week after week?
- Extend the page by a week or a month and the same shifts copy forward with new dates. Regulars who signed up for a standing shift can be added to every week at once from your side.
- What about no-shows?
- Everyone gets a reminder the day before their shift with a cancel link. When someone cancels, the spot reopens and the first person on the waitlist is offered it automatically.
- Can I export hours for a grant report?
- Yes. Every signup, with date, shift, name and email, exports to CSV from the dashboard. Day-of check-in from your phone marks who actually came.
