For community clothing distributions
Know what your neighbors need, down to the size.
Relay tracks every clothing request in seconds, giving mutual aid groups and nonprofits the numbers to prove unmet need, win grants, and ask for exactly what’s missing.
Volunteering at a distribution? No sign-in needed. Your organizer will text you a link.
Most of our neighbors don’t get everything they came for, and it’s usually about size. Relay helps us show funders that gap, one request at a time.”
Where Relay started
Sundays on Forsyth.
Every Sunday, 100–150 neighbors come to Street Service on the Lower East Side. Many need clothes, and most leave without something they came for, usually because of size. Relay started here, to count every request and ask donors for exactly what’s missing.
How it works
Step 1: One link for every volunteer
Share a single link in your group chat. Volunteers open it on their phones and log each request by size. No accounts, no training.
Step 2: Instant shift reports
See how many neighbors you served, what was handed out, and your unmet need by size the moment you close.
Step 3: Targeted asks
Post a ready-made social caption or share a donor page highlighting your highest needs and exact sizes to replenish.
