Description
FoodFinder believes that people in need of food should be able to get the help they need easily, quickly, and without shame. Recognizing that millions of Americans are food insecure, FoodFinder has created this website, and an accompanying app, to help people quickly find food pantries near their location. Food pantries are listed across all 50 states, and over 3 million people have utilized this website to locate them. The site is searchable by zip code and contains the hours of each food location and other helpful information about the food source such as services provided, service area, and requirements.
Features
- Searchable by zip code
- App available on the App Store or Google Play
- Financial donation opportunity
- Results available by map or list
Practical Applications
- Print and share maps of food distribution sites for people in your congregation or community who don't have internet access.
- Review the FoodFinder map to determine where there are gaps in food assistance programs near your congregation. Recruit a team of people to create a ministry to fulfill this need by creating a food program, food pantry, or community meal program.
- Reach out to food ministries in your area to see what their needs are. Share these needs with your congregation and lead the effort to help via food donations or help sorting or distributing food or supplies.
