The Origin

In 2020, the world was dealing with the uncertainty of COVID-19 and lockdowns. A question arose:

Could we find out what food charities need in real time?

That one question led to the newest innovation:
The Tackle Hunger Map.

Innovation Through Partnership

With help of food charities nationwide and from Dell Technologies,

we developed a one-of-a-kind tool: The Tackle Hunger Map, powered by AI and critical funding.

This map shows:

- Locations of food charities
- Their real-time needs
- Direct donation options

Local donations stay local, ensuring support where it’s needed most.

    Evacuation Routes with Food Charities

    This map shows evacuation routes based on the path of a hurricane. Food charities are marked on the routes to determine the best places to stage food for evacuees. Thanks to Dell Technologies for sharing this map image.

    Where are Vulnerable Communities?

    Mapping can be used to help us understand areas of vulnerability where we need to find new ways to support those in need.

Why It Matters?

Food insecurity—and lack of nutritious food—is solvable.
Our customizable programs empower local action, because real solutions start in the community.

There is no maintained national database of food charities.

Without this map, we can’t:

- See the full picture of food insecurity
- Identify underserved areas
- Optimize disaster and hunger relief

The Tackle Hunger Map fills this gap, making food access more equitable across the country.
