What You Need
Is in Your Church

We can help you share it!

nabo is a free app for churches to list and share items—breaking down silos, reducing spending, and building trusted community connections.

How it Works

  1. Create an account
    Sign up on the nabo app or website—it’s free and easy.

  2. Join a community
    Search for and join your church’s private group.

  3. Browse the marketplace
    See what items others have listed—like tables, tents, tools, or toys.

  4. Search for what you need
    Instead of buying new tablecloths for an event, request to borrow them from another department.

  5. List your own items
    Share things you’re not using—help others and make your stuff more useful.

What Could It Look Like at Your Church?

  • Disaster Relief

    When a storm hits, your church wants to mobilize quickly—but not everyone has the gear they need. With nabo, members can list critical supplies ahead of time so they're easy to find and ready to borrow when disaster strikes. Your church becomes a hub of help, not a place scrambling to buy more stuff.

    Common items shared:

    • Chainsaws
    • Tarps
    • Generators

    sign up

  • Hospitality Ministry

    Whether it’s a potluck, a wedding shower, or the church anniversary dinner, hosting events can get expensive fast. With nabo, your hospitality team can inventory what they already own—and see what others have to offer. No more duplicate purchases or digging through closets.

    Common items shared:

    • Serving platters
    • Tablecloths
    • Drink urns

    sign up

  • Youth + Children’s Ministry

    Planning retreats, lock-ins, or VBS takes a ton of supplies—many of which are used once a year. Instead of every ministry buying their own, nabo helps you pool resources across your staff and volunteers, making it easy to find what you need and save big.

    Common items shared:

    • Games and sports gear
    • VBS decorations and props
    • Water tables and inflatables

Only approved members—like staff or volunteers—can join and share. You control who sees and borrows what.

  • Invite-only access

  • Listings visible to members only

nabo is more than an app—it’s a safe, stewarded space to make the most of what you already have.
