Plate It Forward

Join a growing network of businesses using their craft to give back.

Locally-owned restaurants, bakeries, and breweries are the lifeblood of our community — and we're excited to partner with you to help take hunger off the table.

The information you share through Service Insights on Meal Connect (SIMC) directly informs our work, helping our network of partner agencies to:

Improve the experience of everyone accessing food assistance

Source more familiar and meaningful food that aligns with families’ needs

Draw in more donations of food, funding, and supplies

Goals & Vision: Help Identify New Support

When you share a few bits of basic information, we are better able to help to determine whether you or members of your family are eligible for government-funded programs — including potential assistance with groceries, utilities, and housing.

Examples of information you may be asked to share include:

  • First and last name
  • Date of birth (for age-based support)
  • Street address (some programs are for specific geographic areas)
  • Household income
  • Number of people in your home (some benefits increase by family size)
  • Demographic information
