Borrow — Lend & Borrow Things

How Borrow works for lending and borrowing household items on FoodShare.

Lend and borrow household things instead of buying — at your own risk.

General

No FoodShare insurance — lend low-value, non-sentimental items; you may request a cash deposit and restrict to 4★+ / 5+ shares / 2km.
Tap “+” → Borrow to list; agree loan period, return date, and deposit in chat before handover.
Remove online accounts from devices before lending.

Lender

Set restrictions when listing; only lend to people you’re comfortable with (rating/profile).
Agree return via chat; if no return, contact us → if deleted/unresponsive, report theft to police (we assist).
Returned damaged? Request borrower fix/replace at their cost. Check items are safe.

Borrower

Borrow via Borrow tab; if “don’t meet requirements”, lender restricted to 4★/5 shares/2km.
Deposits are private cash agreements — FoodShare not liable. Confirm amount in chat. Disputes → “need more help”.
Photo on receipt, check safety, read manual (manuals). All use at borrower risk.
