Send less to landfill and more to a good cause
Our app makes it easy for businesses to donate unwanted items to local charities that need them.
The idea is simple: we match businesses to local charities
- 1A business has something to spareThis could be anything from a used laptop or some office furniture to surplus products.
- 2A local charity has a needIt has the vision and dedication, but needs the resources to make it happen.
- 3We make the match!We notify local charities, who request the items through our app.
We want to work towards a more sustainable world
We created A Good Thing to make it easier for businesses to give away the things they no longer need, so that less goes to landfill and more to a good cause.
Our app is as simple as using eBay or Airbnb. Simply tell us what you want to donate and where you are, and we'll do the matchmaking.
