Impact dashboard
Live metrics on how Feed America connects people with food assistance. Updated continuously from our search log + verification system.
Live dashboard: the React SPA shows real-time numbers. This SSR version surfaces the methodology + key recent stats for crawlers and direct landings.
What we measure
- Searches — anonymous count of ZIP/city queries (no PII stored)
- Resources surfaced — total distinct food-assistance records returned across all searches
- Coverage — % of US ZIP codes where our search returns at least one nearby resource within 25 miles
- Data freshness — % of resources verified within the last 180 days
- Partner referrals — clicks from feedam.org search results to partner sites (anonymous count)
What we do NOT measure
- "Meals served" or "people fed" — we don't distribute food directly, so claiming that would be misleading. We are a search platform, not a food bank.
- Per-user behavior — we don't store user IDs, IP addresses, or personally identifiable search history.
