MiniVAN Touch vs Pizza For A Purpose

miniVAN Touch is a mobile canvassing application that integrates with websites provided by NGP VAN. The miniVAN system allows users to export canvassing lists from VAN onto an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Canvassers can then enter data into their device as they talk to people on their list. When the canvassers connect their device to the Internet over a wireless or cellular network, they can upload their data back to the VAN with the touch of a button. Administrative users on the VAN can then review the data and apply it to the database in one quick step. Canvassing with miniVAN allows NGP VAN clients to spend more time and resources on actually contacting people instead of on data entry. What’s more, it virtually eliminates the lag time between collecting canvass results and putting that data to work.

Pizza for a Purpose facilitates the donation of pizzas from restaurants to local charities. Our mission is to feed those in need by making it easy for pizza businesses to donate their pledged pizzas. At Pizza for a Purpose, we believe that no one should go hungry, especially when there is plenty of food that can be shared. With just a few taps on the phone, restaurants can donate pizzas and help make a difference in the community. Our app is easy to use and streamlines the donation process. Simply sign up, input the time of pickup, the number of pies to be donated, and choose a nearby charity organization to receive the donation. Approximately 800 million people struggle from food insecurity worldwide and more than 160,000 people in Palm Beach County alone. This problem is just too big to ignore. Join us in our mission to reduce food waste and bridge the gap to self-sustenance.
