How to Set Up Donation Drop-Off Time Slots
Let donors choose a time to bring their bags in Proximatic. Schedule people to unload and sort them, and see how many arrivals to expect in each window.
Generous donors can overwhelm a small unloading crew when they all arrive at once. Bags pile up at the entrance, sorting stops, and the next car is already waiting.
Spread the arrivals with donation drop-off windows in Proximatic. Set the number of places in each window to suit the people and space you have. Donors choose an available time, and you get an arrival list for each part of the day instead of one undivided list of offers.
A window with four places gives four donors a time to come. When it fills, the next donor can choose a later opening. The crew can prepare for that group of arrivals, clear space and keep the next window moving. Put the collection point and accepted-donation instructions on the event page so donors know what to bring and where to go.
Unloading and sorting need people too. Schedule those jobs alongside the drop-off windows, including help for the later arrivals. You can see whether the final window has a receiving crew before sharing more places.
Core event signups and scheduling are free. Create your donation drop-off signup and give donors a clear time to help.
