Our goal since the beginning was to be able to combat food insecurity with community, and we stuck with our roots when we created 312Pantry. 312Pantry was first conceptualized as a resource app dedicated to connecting users with excess food to different food donation resources, namely mini pantries and community fridges. As the 312 in its name implies, the app is focused primarily on connecting users to pantries in Chicago. In October of 2021, the app expanded to also cover Chicago food banks.
