Digital Support for Food Security:
Sunshine Division's Initiative
Sunshine Division worked with iQpay to add digital aid to their food relief efforts in the Portland metro area.
Case Study:
Program Overview
Sunshine Division provides home-delivered food boxes in the Portland metro area. They have delivered over 100,000 food boxes since April 2020. Each week, they serve hundreds of families and individuals, ensuring food security for those unable to travel. Recently, they added iQpay’s system to give out a one-time extra offer, making it easier to distribute and manage this aid.
The Challenge
Sunshine Division needed to:
- Give more help to food box recipients
- Give out extra aid quickly
- Handle a large, one-time offer well
iQpay's Solution
iQpay set up a digital card system to give out a one-time extra offer:
- $50 ATF cards for people who get meal boxes
- Over 1,500 members signed up
- Plans to give out about 1,700 cards
- Started giving out cards in late July
