Jasmine Crowe had been hosting formal pop-up dinners for Atlanta’s homeless for several years when a video about her work went viral in January 2016. 

It became her lightbulb moment. She realized that much of the US hunger problem was about logistics, not scarcity.

Many restaurants, catering, and event companies have plenty of leftovers, but don’t have a system for figuring out how to donate and deliver them to the needy. At the same time, low-income families, the elderly and the homeless don’t have ways to access existing free-meal services or nearby food banks. The answer lay in connecting them.
