Food rescue and distribution center assisting those in need

"After celebrity shoutouts that helped raise roughly $200,000 via Venmo and CashApp in a week, the organization has been unable to immediately fulfill more than 500 aid requests because mobile-payment platform limits and account holds are preventing large person-to-person disbursements (Venmo’s TOS caps verified users at $4,999.99/week and Cash App reportedly limits verified senders to $7,500/week). Organizers have paused new applications while they work through a backlog and await releases or workarounds from the payment services." - Steven Monacelli

"A Dallas mutual-aid group working around the clock during the recent storm to deliver food and other assistance to unhoused people across the Dallas–Fort Worth area; efforts have included helping residents of an unhoused collective secure warm hotel rooms and purchase hot meals, and the organization is a listed beneficiary of both merchandise-proceeds and a personal donation from Kacey Musgraves." - Amy McCarthy

"Named as a beneficiary of Seattle Restaurant Week's new charity-driven "Give a Meal" option, Feed the People is cited as one of the organizations receiving proceeds directed toward fighting food insecurity." - Gabe Guarente
