Everything you need to share more & waste less.

Dashers connects neighbours so surplus food and goods get a second life instead of going to waste. Anyone can sign up free — share a loaf of bread, give away a chair, or volunteer to rescue food from a restaurant down the road.

Sign up with your email or with Google. You'll be asked to confirm your phone number once — this is the single most important thing that keeps Dashers safe and trusted.

Tap the + Post button. Snap or upload a photo — our AI will suggest a title for you. Choose a category, add a quick description, and pick your pickup window. Done.

The browse feed shows what's available within walking distance, sorted by how close and how fresh. Switch to map view to see pins, or use filters to narrow down to a category, allergen, or pickup window that suits you.

• Tap the heart to save a listing — you'll get a notification if the price drops on partner listings.
• Use the search bar with terms like "bread", "books for kids" or "size 8 shoes".
• Tap Request to send a polite intro message to the lister.

All conversations happen inside Dashers — your phone number stays private. You can propose pickup time slots, send your address only when you're ready, and cancel politely with one tap.

Show up on time. Bring your own bag for food. Knock politely. Take only what was agreed. If anything changes, message inside the app first — don't leave someone waiting.

• Late? Send a quick message. Most listers will happily wait 10 min.
• Can't make it? Cancel in the chat so the item can be re-offered.
• Food: check the use-by date and trust your senses.

After every pickup both sides leave a quick 1-5 star rating and an optional note. Your trust score, karma points and badges all live on your profile — they're how the community knows you're a great neighbour.

Heroes rescue surplus food from restaurants, hotels and supermarkets and redistribute it in their neighbourhood. Sign up in the volunteer hub, complete a short training, and choose a regular shift.

Partner with Dashers to redistribute unsold food in under 30 minutes, get a monthly ESG impact report and offer reductions or Lucky Dip bags. The partner dashboard is free for your first location.

• Reductions feed: end-of-day discounts visible to nearby members.
• Lucky Dip bags: mystery bags at a fraction of retail.
• Charity redistribution: schedule weekly pickups to NGOs.
• ESG report: meals, kg of CO₂, litres of water — every month.

Dashers has a dedicated moderation team and an AI safety layer. You can block any user, report a listing or a message, and we respond to safety reports within 4 hours. Phone numbers are masked in chat by default.

Set your home zone for accurate distance sorting. Turn on push notifications for new listings near you, saved searches, messages, and Dash Hero shift reminders. Quiet hours are respected — we won't ping you between 10pm and 7am unless you opt in.
