What's in it for you

Save money
💰

Cut waste disposal costs

End-of-day food that would cost you to dispose of — surplus chicken, deli items, hot bar — gets picked up for free. Less trash, lower disposal bills.

Zero risk
🛡️

Fully protected by law

The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act (federal) and WA RCW 69.80.031 (state) protect you from liability when donating food in good faith. No exceptions, no gray area.

Community PR
🌟

Real community goodwill

Your store feeds people in need, right here in Auburn. Customers notice. It's genuine — and it's the kind of story that spreads on its own.

How It Works

Three steps. Maybe 60 seconds of your time.

🏪
Step 01

You post surplus

Log unsold deli items before closing — fried chicken, sandwiches, hot bar. 30 seconds on any device.

🔔
Step 02

Volunteers get notified

Nearby volunteers receive an instant alert and claim the pickup. A real person — they're 10 minutes away.

→
🤝
Step 03

Food reaches people in need

The volunteer picks up, delivers directly to someone experiencing homelessness. Nothing hits the dumpster.

Legal Protection

You are fully covered. Here's the law.

Two layers of protection apply the moment you donate food in good faith. This isn't GrabNGive policy — it's settled federal and state law.

Federal Law
Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act Federal law explicitly protects food donors from civil and criminal liability when donating in good faith. Covers perishables, prepared food, deli — everything.
Washington State Law
RCW 69.80.031 — WA Food Donation Act Washington reinforces federal protection at the state level. Donors acting in good faith cannot be held liable. Your property is protected during pickup too.
Only gross negligence voids protection — an extremely high bar Normal food service doesn't come close. "Gross negligence" means intentional or reckless disregard for safety — not a label oversight or a date that passed by a few hours.
No paperwork, no contracts, no nonprofit required Protection applies automatically when you donate in good faith. You don't need to sign anything or partner with a registered charity.

Auburn-area store managers who joined GrabNGive

We were tossing 10–15 pounds of hot bar food every night. Now it's picked up within 30 minutes of closing. Zero extra work on our end.

I was worried about liability. The GrabNGive team walked me through the Good Samaritan law in 5 minutes. I signed up that same day.

Deli Manager, Auburn

Takes me 30 seconds to log the surplus after close. Honestly easier than filling out the waste log I was doing before.
