Mission and Program Overview

Mission

MEANS Database modernizes food recovery by connecting excess food to organizations and individuals who need it. In the 2017 fiscal year we recovered approximately 1.3 million pounds of food that would have otherwise been thrown out and redirected them to our nonprofit partners throughout the country. We built new partnerships with both food donors and nonprofits throughout the year and are now present in 48 states and the District of Columbia.

IRS990/Desc0Community Meal Program - We continued our Community Meal Program in 8 cities, where we paid local small businesses (restaurants and caterers with 4 or fewer total locations) between $6-8 a meal to make catering orders specifically to be donated to pre-selected nearby emergency food providers. This program cultivates relationships with both restaurants and nonprofits alike. At the start of 2021, MEANS drastically increased our capacity to provide purchased meals from restaurants for local nonprofits serving individuals facing food insecurity due to funding we received at the end of 2020. We received additional funding for this program in June, 2021 from Grubhub to continue the program through the rest of the year. In 2021, we purchased 368,206 meals from 70 restaurants, which were redistributed to those in need through partnership with 100 nonprofit and mutual aid organizations. Core Food Recovery Program - Our core program at MEANS Database is our food recovery program, wherein food businesses with extra food can post a donation, and our system automatically emails and texts nearby emergency food providers. Our outreach team works to grow our network of donors and recipients, and our tech team works to maintain our website, expand its functionality, and improve accessibility features to best serve our users. This program is completely free for both food donors and recipient organizations to use. In 2021, MEANS Database recovered 126,748 pounds of food and found nonprofits to accept this food. This food ranged from cooking oil donations in California to fresh produce in Florida. MEANS Database does not purchase recovered food but funding is used to provide transportation of the product. Florida - We increased our work in Florida at the beginning of 2021 after Jeannie Necessary with University of Florida- IFAS Extension Food and Nutrition Program reached out to us. This year, weve had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing partners such as UF-IFAS FNP, Florida Impact to End Hunger, St. Matthews House, and so many more. Through this outreach program, we saw a 98% increase in users in Florida and moved over 52,000 pounds of food in the state, 98% of which was fruits and vegetables. We received a $10,000 individual donation for transportation in Florida from a private donor. Weve made great strides towards establishing food recovery efforts in Florida and cannot wait to see how we will further expand our work in 2022! Rhode Island - In October, we received an EPA Healthy Communities Grant in partnership with Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) and the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) to expand food recovery across the state and provide biodegradable food packaging for donations. This grant has helped us build upon our food recovery work across the state, expanding upon the 2017 Rhode to End Hunger initiative with RIDOH. We also joined the Rhode Island Food Policy Council in 2021, which has allowed us to partner with dozens of new organizations and projects across the state. Simply Organic - We received $15,000 from Simply Organic/Frontier Co-op to recover organic food from businesses across the country. We sent postcards, emails, and made phone calls to organic food producers. In 2021, we recovered 8,895 lbs of food through this partnership. Ambassador Program: In the Spring of 2021, MEANS Database hired seven high school and college aged students to work as ambassadors of MEANS. These ambassadors completed outreach tasks, individual tasks like grant writing and marketing, and completed research presentations. The ambassadors were compensated with a $1000 stipend for their work.
