There are three impacted parties.

These are wholesale distributors who serve up to 60,000 pantries nationwide.

Food Pantries

The neighborhood sites with a selection of foods for locals to utilize.

The Community

Your next door neighbor, who fights to make ends meet and feed their family.

However, under the surface...

Food Banks struggle to...

  • Collect and understand data to better serve the community
  • Heavy reliance on understaffed personnel to communicate with partner agencies, resulting in long lead times & lost relationships

Food Pantries are faced with...

  • Difficulty in getting and retaining volunteers
  • Maintaining engagement with their donor base
  • Manually applying to lengthy grant applications
  • Replacing phone calls/emails/paperwork with one intuitive digital experience

The Community is left helpless due to...

  • The lack of up-to-date information about their local pantries and food agencies
  • Inevitably long & haphazard lines at distribution locations due to poor client scheduling and slow intakes
  • Vastly varied check-in procedures pantry to pantry
