What happens after you submit

Review (3-5 business days) — a Feed America volunteer cross-checks the address, calls or visits the pantry's website, confirms it's still active.
Geocode — we map the address to lat/lng so it shows up in distance-based search.
Activate — the listing flips to public search at feedam.org with a verification date stamp.
Notify (if you provided email) — we email you when the listing goes live.

What if my submission is rejected?

The most common rejection reasons are: pantry has permanently closed, address is incomplete or unverifiable, or the entry is a duplicate. If your submission is rejected, we email you with the reason (if you provided email).
