In their words
Real impact. Real voices.

"At a couple of our clinics, before we had the Click n Collect lockers, enrollment in our Food as Medicine program was fairly low—around 20 to 30 patients. After installing lockers, one clinic grew from 30 to nearly 200, and another from 20 to almost 100. The lockers drove that growth by making it easier to access fresh produce—especially in food deserts where quality options are limited."

"The vast majority of our unique families using the lockers are new to NNEMAP. so we have created an awareness of our pantry for a group of folks who didn't know we existed prior to having lockers."

Jim Hamberg
Pantry Director, NNEMAP

"Thanks to its convenience, privacy, and consistent availability of the food lockers, the families in our community can regain stability, rebuild their lives, and ultimately move beyond the grip of food insecurity. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve our community through our Food Locker program."

"Many individuals face significant challenges in accessing the food they need. Barriers like limited transportation and the stigma often associated with seeking assistance prevent neighbors from getting the support and proper nutrition they deserve." The smart locker system provides an innovative and flexible solution to providing additional food pickup options at locations that many of our neighbors in need are already visiting in their daily lives.”

Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin

"The Click n Collect lockers have improved access to free food, allowing neighbors to collect it on their own schedule. Many work during regular distribution hours, and the lockers let them pick up food on their way home. One neighbor, who is disabled, shared how grateful they were to avoid standing in line. Working students with families and residents in under-resourced areas also benefit—making it easier to access food close to home, school, or work."

Erin McKinney
Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano

"Our newly added smart lockers have helped us serve a population of people who we have been unable to reach during our pantry hours at the Northern Illinois Food Bank's Neighborhood Market. These smart lockers have allowed us to offer a convenient and contactless method of distributing fresh groceries to our Neighbors in need who cannot attend our pantry due to reasons such as health struggles, work schedules, or lack of transportation."

Courtney Oakes
Northern Illinois Food Bank

"The Click n Collect lockers have expanded how we get needed food to our families. They are providing 24/7 access, convenience and discretion for those who need it. One mom of young twins stated "It is so much easier than bringing the kids into the pantry with me!" Another client emailed "I LOVE IT!!" We are seeing more families reached by the lockers, eliminating the embarrassment often felt by those coming to a food pantry. The lockers are easy to use and support has been timely and very helpful."

Beth Bentley
Gahanna Residents in Need (GRIN)

"Many of our neighbors who experience hunger struggle to access pantries because of limited transportation and scheduling conflicts. Implementing food lockers in our community reduced those barriers. Now our neighbors have the flexibility to access Mission Marshall Food Pantry in a way that also offers privacy and dignity."

Misty Scott
Mission Marshall

"Click n' Collect food lockers are a fantastic community asset! They offer our neighbors convenient, discreet, and dignified access to nutritious food. The Click n' Collect team provides amazing support, and they have been a pleasure to work with. We're looking forward to having our third set of lockers installed this summer and hope to have more in the near future."
