When restaurants, food retailers, caterers, and individuals have a donation, they request a pickup from our Food Connect app. They will receive a confirmation with an ETA of the pickup and a link to track the driver's arrival in real-time.
Step 2: Pickup
The Food Connect dispatch team will find the right match for your donation- based on food needs, location, and availability.
Step 3: Deliver
Food Connect will deliver the donation to those in need, helping you make a bigger and better impact on the community.
