Question 1

What is KindShare?

Accepted Answer

KindShare is a free community platform for Newport Beach and Orange County where neighbors give and receive useful items, borrow and lend tools, volunteer, and share skills. No money changes hands — there are no fees, no ads, and your data is never sold. It's operated by Kindness Community Foundation (KCF LLC).

Question 2

Is KindShare really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything shared under 'give' is free to take, borrowing is free, and there are no subscriptions, commissions or ads. KindShare is a community service, not a marketplace.

Question 3

How does KindShare work?

Accepted Answer

Browse what neighbors are sharing or post your own listing. When you find something you need — or someone wants what you're giving away — you message each other in-app and arrange a local pickup, usually a simple doorstep handover within a few miles.

Question 4

What can I give, get, or borrow?

Accepted Answer

People share furniture, household goods, kids' and baby gear, electronics, books and clothing to give away for free, plus tools and equipment to borrow. You can also volunteer locally and teach or learn practical skills.

Question 5

Do I need an account to use KindShare?

Accepted Answer

You can browse free listings without signing in. A free account (Google or email, no password) lets you message neighbors, claim items, and post your own.

Question 6

Where is KindShare available?

Accepted Answer

KindShare is launching across Newport Beach and Orange County, California — including Costa Mesa, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, Anaheim and nearby cities. It's new, so early members shape the community.
