Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The problem is the lack of food because of hardship. We provide food for individuals and families that are having a hard time regardless of financial history or items that they own. We help families with food, clothing, hair cuts and mental health counseling as well as life counseling with local programs.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to allow the distribution of food and counceling on a local level to flow easily out to the neighborhoods, focusing on food insecurity and food waste as a way to increase giving efforts. We also look to continue to provide services that assist people to get back on their feet as a productive member of society.

Some of the strategies include:

FOOD FOR LIFE:
We will have food banks available in every small town ready to give out food free as part of our Food for Life program.

COOKED MEALS:
Meals will be cooked at the end of the week for pickup at facilities to provide dinner for Saturday and Sunday nights to lessen the burden on families by providing food over the weekend when school is not in session.

FOOD REQUEST AND DELIVERY:
"Members" of the food banks can select to order food and food will be delivered to them on a recurring basis.

FOOD DRIVES:
App based request of containers and app based requests for pickup can be scheduled to provide food for the pantries by distributors and grocers as well as community groups and individuals.

We have a community behind us as well as large companies that are willing to provide funding for advertising, technology and volunteers. We have a vision for scaling and duplicating our operation on a location by location basis over time to scale our growth exponentially while keeping the system organized and repeatable.

We have accomplished launching a successful food bank and clothing center with the ability to attract corporate giving and volunteers by offering it as teamwork training. We have developed relationships with local distribution and have received enough in funding to upgrade our facility and provide trucks and infrastructure to allow for continued growth.
