The Food Bank’s Guide to Optimizing CRM Technology to Meet a Growing Demand for Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

When COVID-19 hit, food banks saw a near-immediate surge in demand for services. In the COVID-19 era, more than 82% of U.S. food banks are now serving more people than they were last year, with an average increase of 50%<\/strong>, according to a June 2020 survey by hunger relief organization Feeding America.<\/p>\n

Changing the way food banks operate<\/strong>
\nFood banks have had to quickly change how they work \u2014 meeting a higher demand for services while minimizing person-to-person contact, and often with fewer volunteers. Some have changed their models from self-selection to grab-and-go services. Some have instituted new drive-through pickups as an alternative to walk-in pickups. Others have begun to offer home delivery.<\/p>\n

But now, as demand levels out at new highs, the questions for food banks become these: How do you sustain services to meet this higher level of demand? How do you keep new donors engaged and build a sustainable base of support to see you through these changing times? How can you re-tool so you can meet today\u2019s challenges and are prepared to expand programs quickly to meet future unforeseen needs? What technologies are out there to assist you?<\/p>\n
