the shelf.
Granary is your block's pantry for shelf-stable food and household essentials. Post your extras, claim what you could use — no money, no barter, no fuss. Just neighbors.
Free forever. Currently proving it in one ZIP code.
How it works
Three taps to a fuller shelf.
Listing something and asking for something work exactly the same way — and carry the same weight.
Post your extras
Snap a photo and list what's spare in your cupboards — canned goods, pasta, diapers, soap. If it's shelf-stable, it belongs.
Claim in one tap
See something you could use? First to claim gets it. Confirm within 12 hours and it's yours — no awkward asking required.
Meet & share
Pickup details unlock once a claim is accepted. Say hi, hand it over, done — and the shelf quietly restocks itself.
The shelf
What belongs on the shelf.
Six categories, one rule: if it needs a fridge, it stays home.
- Pantry Canned goods, pasta, rice, beans
- Drinks Coffee, tea, shelf-stable milk
- Baby & Kid Formula, diapers, sealed snacks
- Hygiene Soap, toothpaste, shampoo
- Cleaning Detergent, dish soap, sponges
- Pet Kibble, treats, litter
Shelf-stable only — no perishables, nothing that needs a fridge. Sealed and unexpired, please.
Offering and asking carry the same weight here.
No feeds of "people in need." No donor badges. Just a shelf your whole block shares.
The fine print, minus the fine
The rules of the shelf.
No money, no barter
Everything is free. Always. No sales, no trades, no strings attached.
First to claim
See it, claim it — simple and fair. Unconfirmed claims expire after 12 hours and go back on the shelf.
Your address stays private
Exact pickup details unlock only after a claim is accepted — never before.
Shelf-stable only
Canned, boxed, sealed. Nothing perishable, nothing that needs a fridge.
The pilot
