Food Oasis is more than just a web application; it's a community-driven platform dedicated to ensuring everyone has access to food pantries and meal programs when they need them most. Operating across several regions, including Los Angeles County, The Hawaiian Islands, Santa Barbara County, and McKinney, TX, Food Oasis serves as a beacon of hope and support.
- Los Angeles County: Explore an extensive network of over 600 vetted pantries and meal programs. Visit LA Site or Alternate Link
- The Hawaiian Islands: Find essential food support services across the islands. Visit HI Site
- Santa Barbara County: Discover local food assistance resources. Visit SB Site
- McKinney, TX: Connect with trusted meal programs and pantries. Visit McKinney Site
As of March 2024, our Los Angeles and McKinney sites are rich with verified listings, thanks to the tireless efforts of our volunteers. However, the value of our service in other areas depends on the continuous contribution of individuals like you. How You Can Make an Impact:
- Volunteering: Whether you're inputting and validating listings or helping a community find the resources they need, your efforts directly impact lives.
- Expanding Our Reach: Have you identified a need in a community we haven't reached yet? Partner with us to establish a new Food Oasis site.
- Developing for Good: Our entire codebase is open source under the GPL Version 2 License, and we welcome developers to join us in enhancing Food Oasis' functionality and reach. This project is a proud initiative of Hack for LA, under Civic Tech Structure, and we're always on the lookout for more hands and hearts to contribute.
We're calling on compassionate volunteers, visionary community leaders, and skilled developers to join us in the mission to combat food insecurity. Your knowledge, skills, and passion can drive the success of Food Oasis, making a tangible difference in the lives of many.
If you're moved by the prospect of helping communities access vital food resources or if you're a developer eager to lend your skills for a greater cause, we want to hear from you! Contact us today to learn how you can be part of this impactful journey. Together, let's ensure that no one has to worry about where their next meal will come from. Join the Food Oasis family, and be at the heart of change.
