FoodBridge, LLC

Let’s all remember as we plan our family get togethers and travel that Food Banks across the country like the Greater Chicago Food Depository are preparing to feed our neighbors in need for the holiday. Thank you to all of the hunger relief volunteers, workers and staff that make this possible every year (and every day really) from all of us at FoodBridge, LLC. #gratitude #foodbanks #foodpantries #hungerrelief

As we come upon the eve of a change in political leadership in the U.S., how do you plan for 2025 and beyond?

There are so many platforms, apps and widgets available to hunger relief organizations. It can be overwhelming for the staff at these organizations, even in IT related areas to keep track and manage them all. Some are build for fundraising, some are for program enrollment, some are for fulfillment and warehousing and more. What if there was one platform that could allow food banks and pantries to do all of these things via text, email, online and integrate it with current systems? We might have something that fits.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the people impacted yet by another powerful storm in the gulf. Many food banks and pantries are not only catching up from Helene, but now are going to be helping those in need again in the coming weeks. Please do all you can to support them and all the first responders, neighbors and businesses impacted if you can.

It’s refreshing to see efforts to close the food desert gap in our country. At FoodBridge, LLC we build off our roots as an industry commerce company BlueSky Commerce and conversational AI partner KLaunch to build a truly automated experience for food banks, their partner pantry locations and the neighbors they serve. Even if you have 20-30 or more pick up locations, we can help get the food to the places in need. We can engage and grow neighbor awareness, and streamline operations. We are ready to serve. https://lnkd.in/euz-kssg

Thank you Josh Ross and to the entire team involved. Like Josh, many of us, including myself have a personal deep connection to food insecurity. I remember how difficult it was for my mother, coming off a divorce and supporting two kids at home and another abroad while working a low paying job to put food on the table. We have traveled the country and heard from many food banks, pantries and other organizations fighting this battle on the ground. We think we have a great solution, and for the conversational AI component, can prove it. If you or someone you know wants to be a part of this fight with us, please reach out to me. I will personally show you how we at FoodBridge, LLC along with KLaunch and BlueSky Commerce are ready to tackle this problem in our country.

What a great testament to a grocer executive and philanthropist committed to ending food insecurity. The question will be how do Food Banks best utilize this generosity with programs that matter to reach more people. We may have an idea! Any Feeding Texas hunger relief organization should connect with us to learn more about how we can help get to more Texans in need! https://lnkd.in/grqKyyvv

Many hunger relief organizations we work and talk with hold a couple of common traits. One, they are not well informed about all the grants and other funding options available to them in their state, community or federal level that support the very things they are trying to solve. Two, they may be informed but are overwhelmed because they don't have the luxury of time or resources to complete the process to access some of this funding. There are good places to start at the federal level like SAM and Grants.gov. If you work for a hunger relief organization or know someone who does, please reach out to us and we would be happy to navigate the waters with you and unlock access to great resources to end food insecurity together! https://lnkd.in/gSpCyFVS

One of the major pain points I hear when talking with any service organization that gets support from grants and donations is the ability to truly know how much of an impact they are making. A big part of any hunger relief organization is to tackle Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). According to a study last year by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), they are not alone. So how can we help them collect better information to get more support to help more people? Part of the FoodBridge, LLC solution uses FoodBridge AI, the latest in conversational AI technology that is a one to one cross platform engagement with neighbors. Gone are the days of deploying tens or hundreds of staff to go door to door or email out surveys with lackluster results. With our platform, the neighbor is providing important information that is secure and comprehensive. Want to learn more? Connect with us and we will be happy to show you how. https://lnkd.in/gDWZpzzf
