Project Description

A food delivery app through the California Universal Meals Program supported by LAUSD for students’ family members

Problem

50% of the over 2 million people in Los Angeles County who face food insecurity are families with children. How might we provide daily nutritious food to students and their families who can’t afford them moneywise and timewise by reducing their stress and burden toward cooking?

Insights

-The majority of people suffering from food insecurity are single parents, and they are oftentimes very busy with multiple jobs. -The Universal School Meal Program Act provides easily distributed heavily repeated menus like sandwiches or burgers, which are not very nutritious. -Food support from places such as food banks or food pantries many times don’t accommodate the many different cultural backgrounds of LA.

Solutions
