Rescue is for stock that is still good but will not sell in time — the end of the day's bread, a harvest that came in heavier than expected, produce that is perfectly usable but not perfectly shaped. Instead of writing it off, you offer it to someone who still wants it.
What you can do with surplus
- Sell it at a reduced price while it is still good
- Offer a surplus harvest to buyers who take larger volumes
- Donate suitable food to a verified community organisation
- Share transport with other businesses sending goods the same way
- Redirect what is no longer fit to sell to another responsible use
Before you post
Have these ready and the listing takes a minute:
- A clear photo of what you actually have
- How much there is
- How long it stays good
- Where and when it can be collected
Posting it
Sign in, open Rescue, and choose Post Surplus. The form asks for what it needs and you can save and come back to it.
Rescue → Post Surplus
Getting a good result
- Post as early as you know you have surplus — time is the whole game
- Set a realistic deadline so buyers know how quickly to move
- Price it to move rather than to recover the full cost
- Reply quickly when someone is interested
