Inventory & Needs List · Complete plan
Tell supporters exactly what you need
A public needs list with buy links — plus inventory for the goods you give out.
Supporters want to help, but most nonprofits can only say “we accept donations.” Mission Hand turns that into a public needs list: post what you actually need with the best price and a link to buy it, let people subscribe for new needs and share the list, and track the donated goods you distribute — all in one place.
Post what you need, with a buy link
You know the best price for the supplies you go through — toiletries, diapers, canned goods. List each need with that price and a buy link, set how many you need, and publish it. Supporters click, buy, and donate exactly what helps.
A public “Our current needs” page
Every published need appears on a branded page in your colors that connects to your website. Fully-met needs drop off automatically, and progress bars show how close each one is.
Subscribers and social sharing
Supporters can subscribe to be notified when you post new needs, and share your list to Facebook, X, or email in a click — so a single new need can reach your whole community without you sending a blast.
Track the goods you give out
Beyond what comes in, log donated goods as you distribute them and tie each one back to the people it reached — so the in-kind side of your impact is captured and countable for grants.

Frequently asked questions
How is a needs list different from a donate button?
A donate button asks for money; a needs list tells supporters the exact items you need, at the best price, with a link to buy them. It’s how a toiletry pantry or food bank turns “we accept donations” into specific, fillable asks.
Can supporters get notified about new needs?
Yes. Your public needs page has a subscribe form, and a one-click “Notify subscribers” button emails everyone your current needs when you’re ready to send.
Does it still track in-kind donations and inventory?
Yes — alongside the public needs list, you can log donated goods as they’re distributed and tie them to the people they reached, so your in-kind impact stays countable.
