MealConnect is a web-based platform that allows donors to post and share surplus food donations with nearby eligible food bank hunger relief partners. Real-Time is a function of MealConnect that allows approved donors to post one-time or irregular food donations and enables the food bank to offer out the donations to an approved group of pantry partners. MealConnect will alert you when your donation has been approved by the food bank and has been matched to a nearby network pantry partner. Once a partner accepts the donation offer, you will be notified, and they will pick it up based on the availability you shared in the MealConnect posting.
