MealConnect Technology Platform

Feeding America launched MealConnect, an innovative technology platform that simplifies food donation. The free platform was developed to help reduce food waste, benefit the environment, and put more food on the tables of families and individuals facing hunger in America, according to the company. MealConnect enables food businesses to post surplus food on the MealConnect platform. An algorithm then determines the best-suited local pantry or food program to pick up and distribute that donation. MealConnect can be accessed via any smartphone, tablet or computer. All donations made through MealConnect are tax-deductible.
