Food Access Data Prototype

We're exploring how public data and simple software could support food assistance. Proposed first steps are to map relevant data sources and APIs, draft a data model, and shape a small prototype around what local food pantries actually need.

Work With Us

If your organization has a local information problem worth investigating, tell us what you need to know and which sources are available. We can discuss whether a small project would be useful.
