A match EVERY 30 seconds
We match all supply and demand in the Netherlands on our platforms. Two people find each other every 30 seconds. That makes them and us very happy!
More than 165,000 people are already participating - just people who want to help or need something once, as well as 13,000 community organizations, foundations and charities, companies and schools. Together we have already achieved more than 12.5 million hours of voluntary commitment.
