IT’S TIME TO REIMAGINE AND CHANGE OUR DISTRIBUTION OF SURPLUS FOOD.
COVID's Impact
Food relief organizations rely heavily on a workforce of volunteers. During COVID, volunteer rates have dropped by 50%, while food banks are seeing a 40% increase in demand. Factor in the constraints of COVID-safe working conditions, and the pandemic is hitting hunger relief hard.
Picking With Purpose
The Picking With Purpose program is our commitment to feed and nourish vulnerable populations by using our intelligent pick and sort robotic systems to reimagine the distribution of surplus food. Partnering with other socially responsible companies to source goods, and working with nonprofits to identify those in need, we can keep food out of landfills and get it into the hands of the hungry.
Doing good is good for all.
The benefits of joining Picking With Purpose extend beyond the direct impact we can have fighting hunger. Socially responsible organizations create greater value and deeper connections with both customers and employees. And working together will generate innovative learnings, and significant co-marketing opportunities, as we transform food distribution.
Who We Need
Our pilot program with New York City food rescue organization City Harvest will help feed thousands with our robotic picking, packing and sortation technology efficiently selecting and rapidly packaging Thanksgiving food into readyfor- distribution boxes.
And this is just the beginning.
Now, we’re looking for grocery retailers, food vendors, manufacturers, financial donors, and delivery services to help source and distribute needed goods as we expand our efforts with a diverse network of nonprofit food organizations.
