Virtual Food Drive
Online Software System
A FUN WAY TO DONATE
The Virtual Food Drive (VFD) is an independently built platform that allows organizations to build VFDs in minutes.
A VFD is a replacement for donors going to the grocery store, purchasing food at a much greater cost, and then passing
the food to an organization. Instead, donors scan a representation of the items they would like to donate through the
virtual store, and donates the cost. This gives the donor's amount more power at the organization's buying power level.
Organizations that have companies that would like to hold, or sponsor, VFDs can do so with the ease of an email. No more
having bins at the grocery store. Donors can save resources and no longer travel to donate items. And have FUN in the process.
Let us help provide a fun way for people to donate from any kind of device, anywhere. The system can easily interface into your
existing payment gateway and website and provide a new alternative outlet to donate.
This Virtual Food Drive system is supported on all devices from iPads, iPhones, Android devices all the way to laptops and desktop PCs. Designed to look like a grocery store, donors select "items" from the shelves as if they were buying food to donate. As they scan items, they see the multiplying factor of their dollars translated into meals for the hungry, as well as their savings from buying food themselves.
