Turn extra food into someone's dinner.
Post what you're not going to eat. A neighbour nearby asks for it. You accept, chat, and hand it over. Always free.
How food sharing works
Snap a photo and post
Add a short description, your approximate area, and when it can be picked up.
Someone nearby requests it
A neighbour close to you asks for the food. You choose who to accept.
Chat, meet safely, done
A private chat opens just for this pickup. Mark it given away once it's collected.
Food is always free on Baanto
No prices, no bargaining, no cash on pickup for food, ever. Sharing food should never feel like a transaction.
Check before you eat
Only share food that is fresh, safe, and not expired. Takers should always check food before accepting it. Baanto is not responsible for food safety after handoff. See our Security & Awareness page for more.
Every completed share earns you something
Finishing a pickup builds your Kind Heart score and unlocks badges like First Food Share, Community Helper, and Local Hero. Check My Rewards in the app.
Got items instead of food?
Clothes, books, furniture, and other household things have their own space, with optional cash pickup.
