Securing Safe Foods

Introduction

Code4Community has partnered with SSF to create a comprehensive portal to streamline SSF's coordination between pantries and donors. Through this portal, SSF will be able to onboard pantries, track donations, view donation statistics, and easily access data.

Problem Statement

Securing Safe Food (SSF) aims to increase the availability of allergen-friendly food at food pantries across the U.S. As a nonprofit focusing their limited resources on making an impact, SSF currently utilizes free tools with limited capabilities for tracking food donations and shipments, costing time that could be spent getting more food to more people who need it.

Our Solution

We are developing a comprehensive online portal that will help SSF track the food pantries they work with and those pantries’ food requests, as well as partner food manufacturers, food donations, food shipments, and pantry volunteers. This system will not only enable SSF to keep all this important data in one place, but will also allow pantries, food manufacturers, and volunteers to more easily collaborate with the organization, as each will be able to directly view and update the information relevant to them. This new platform will help SSF and its partners to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their work, so that more time can be spent ensuring allergen-free food reaches the pantries where it will have the greatest impact.
