Food is a
human right.
Share Meals is a nonprofit dedicated to food security. Some of that work is technology. Some of it is showing up with food.
Believing it is the easy part.
A right that exists on paper is not a meal in anyone's hands. Closing that distance is the whole of our work: software that shows people the food already around them, and programs that put food where software alone won't reach.
We began with college students, and campuses are still where most of our work happens. They are not where it stops. A right that only holds on campus was never a right.
