Abstract: A system for distributing surplus items includes the following modules. A central control module distributes the items donated by a donor(s) to a recipient(s) based on a recipient's qualification and an availability of the items. A donor registration module registers the donor. A donor surplus items module registers the availability, characteristics of the items, and a pick-up location on a predetermined time period. A recipient registration module registers the recipient when qualified and parameters associated with the recipient. A donor match module matches the donor with the recipient and selects the items based on the parameters, and generates an approval code and a pick-up location for each item. A search result module notifies the recipient of the items, the pick-up location, and a time limit for responding to the notification and picking up the items, and sends the approval code to the recipient upon a timely positive response.
