Feed those in need, one picture at a time. Over 40 million Americans currently face hunger, not knowing where they will find their next meal. GiftAMeal allows you to help at no cost. Simply take a photo on the GiftAMeal app at a participating restaurant to provide a meal to someone in need in your community. Share your picture on social media to give additional meals! Your photo can be of food, drink, a receipt, friends, something cool at the restaurant, or even a selfie. How does it work? Restaurants pay to be on our app as a mix of marketing and giving back - it’s free for you! Anytime you take a photo at one of our participating restaurants, GiftAMeal makes a donation to a local food bank. These donations go towards distributing nutritious food to neighborhood pantries where those in need can access it. Over 1 million meals have been gifted to those in need so far. And every meal makes a difference. Bridgett, a single mom who previously relied on a local pantry for support, shared her story with us: “My daughter is 15. The food program really, really helped us. Her grades have gone sky-high. We’re in a good place now - we have a house and food and now we’re going to give back.” Help someone like Bridgett with GiftAMeal today!

Snap a photo and someone else gets food. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2023-08-10, version 7.3.4* So easy, fun, and thoughtful. So cool seeing which restaurants are participating and trying new stuff in the process as I scroll through the app!! ### 4/5 — Good Idea *2023-06-27, version 7.3.4* This is a great idea. I have just downloaded and installed the app, so haven’t used it yet, so can’t comment on how it works yet, but should be OK. Only one gripe so far… the only ways to “Invite A Restaurant” are to “Message on Instagram” or “Post on Twitter”. What if I’m not on either of those? As soon as you add a Facebook option, I’ll update to 5 stars. We have several places here in Door County, WI that I’m sure would be interested in participating. ### 5/5 — Who wouldn’t like this *2023-04-19, version 7.3.3* Super easy. Scan a code, snap a photo and done. Wish there were more things that made it this easy to give back. ### 5/5 — This app is great *2022-11-07, version 7.2.11* Great ### 5/5 — GiftAMeal *2022-10-01, version 7.2.5* The GiftAMeal program is an excellent program to help feed the needy. It is so easy to do you simply snap a picture of your meal from participating restaurants and they will provide meals to someone in need. I love that Lion’s Choice participates in this program ## Frequently asked questions about GiftAMeal ### What does GiftAMeal do?
