How it works:
We tried to create a simple format for connecting those with needs with those who are eager to help.
1) Contact Information
Neighbors who have lost SNAP assistance fill out a quick online form to give us a little information on their needs, including how many people live with them and what their TOP 5 Grocery needs are currently.
2) Pairing Buddies
Volunteers also fill out a quick online form and organizers connect them with a neighbor who has lost assistance via text message.
3) Groceries Ordered and Sent
Volunteers order groceries online from a local store with delivery and have them delivered to their Grocery Buddy or arrange for them to be picked up from the store. Both Buddies confirm with the organizers that the order was completed.
