How it works

Donating

  1. Choose an amount. $3, $10, $25, $50, or whatever feels right.
  2. Use one of our secure payment options. No account with us, no newsletter, nothing to sign up for.
  3. Your money joins the fund. It can pay for plates at local venues or be used at community food banks/hubs.

Finding a plate

  1. Find a venue near you below, or scan the ForwardPlate code at the counter.
  2. Pick a plate from the menu. The fund covers it. Nothing to pay.
  3. Show the screen at the counter and enjoy. You'll have 20 minutes to collect it.
