WHAT'S NEXT?
WHAT IS EAT UNITED AIMING AT?
1-YEAR GOALS: SIMPLE, STANDARD SERVICE
REACH MORE FAMILIES in NEED of support.
Offer support to 25% more families by extending the Food Bank service.
Supply the new Food Bank Users by creating alliances with additional Vendors who want to donate their surplus produce.
professionalISE THE food bank service.
Build a confident, capable and professional team of local volunteers. Provide the equipment and training necessary for them to lead the Food Re-distribution seamlessly from market to community.
MOTIVATE HEALTHY Eating on a budget
Implement a program of activities with a hands-on approach to food education. The activities harness the interests that the community members themselves expressed (through the Human Centred Design process) in order to inspire healthy eating and shift dietary habits; with an emphasis on nutrition for children.
technological
innovation and integration
Extend the App to track the impact of Eat United's Food Banks.
Every pack of food shared will be logged in the App; allowing us to track where the rescued food is going, who is using the service and how often; as well as giving the Users a space to communicate their level of satisfaction.
5-YEAR GOALS: GROW THE CHANGE
Once the Food Bank service is simple and standard, it's easier to expand.
+ Add more Vendors within the same market
+ Add more Users to each existing Food Bank
+ Train more Volunteers as necessary
Eat United will have a strong visual presence in the market, raising awareness about food waste.
