How many times have you wasted those little soaps you get at hotels?
We aim to hit two birds with one stone - to provide homeless people with the ability to take care of their hygiene, and to reduce the wastage of toiletries at hotels.
We want to connect drivers (mainly bus and cargo drivers, but also everyday people) with routes that allow them to distribute excess resources to people who need them, without disrupting their daily routine.
We’re basically a convenience-led, volunteer-run DoorDash for excess hotel toiletries.
When drivers want to get from point A to point B, we’ll notify them if there’s a reasonably close path that would include a hotel with excess toiletries and a distribution center.
For now, users message our Slack Bot with an origin and destination, which will result in a route that includes a hotel and distro center if there’s one nearby.
