Mission

The mission of Wny Food Web Inc is to alleviate hunger and prevent the waste of food. This is achieved through a network of volunteers and a platform that facilitates donations from local businesses and individuals to local charities.

Programs and Initiatives

Wny Food Web Inc operates several initiatives to achieve its mission:

1. FoodWeb Sandwich Army: This is a volunteer-driven model where members of the community participate in weekly sandwich drives. Volunteers can either donate packaged sandwiches to designated drop-off hubs or serve as drop-off hubs themselves. Donations are collected between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM every Saturday and then delivered to a local organization.

2. Uber for Food Donations: Although currently non-operational, this model involves three parties: donors (restaurants or organizations), receivers (charity organizations), and volunteers. Donors register their food donations on the platform, specifying pickup times. Charities are automatically matched based on availability, and volunteers are notified to facilitate deliveries within designated time slots.

Financials

As reported in 2023, Wny Food Web Inc had a revenue of $5,000 and zero expenses, with total assets of $14,000 and no liabilities[4].
