🚗 Can I change my app location to claim collections further away?
We don’t encourage this, as the goal is to foster local community connections.
Exception: If you regularly travel somewhere (e.g., for work) you can update your location to claim slots near that destination.
⏱️ Is there a limit on travel time?
Yes. For food safety reasons, food must not travel for more than 1.5 hours.
📍 Why do some stores show different advertising distances?
Collections are kept local whenever possible (ideally within 2 km). Distances may be extended when:
Rural locations – nearest volunteers live several km away.
Recruitment needs – building up an Olio community in new areas.
Business requirements – e.g. car needed, late hours, or specific food types.
