PantryTrak is Becoming FreshTrak
For all of us that are engaged in hunger relief we acknowledge that our work extends beyond the services of the food pantry. Read more about our "fresh" new approach to how this technology platform supports the broader work of ending poverty.
FreshTrak: Service
FreshTrak:Service (formerly PantryTrak) is a simple-to-use, cloud-based software designed to gather insights that will help you better serve your customers. By creating a streamlined customer intake process, partners are able to rely on a limited staff or volunteer base. The robust reporting tools are created specifically with agency partner and foodbank needs in mind. FreshTrak offers the opportunity to track not only food services such as TEFAP and CSFP, but also comprehensive services such as community referrals, clothing, as well as back-to-school and holiday programs. Each data point builds a better understanding of existing services, allows identification of gaps, and empowers users to learn from their data.

FreshTrak (formerly known as PantryTrak) is fully supported and owned by Feeding America. Through Feeding America's leadership, we are able to build on years of learnings from within the network and provide additional value by modernizing and more fully supporting the evolution of a no-cost option.
The decision and path forward has been vetted and endorsed by Feeding America leadership, the NAC, and the Connect Council, and with the following goals in mind:
- To meet network needs for timely neighbor insights by optimizing data and technology
- To ensure equitable access to tools and technology for all food banks and agencies in the network
- To support the evolution and integration of technology systems based on network needs and not profitability
- To optimize the use of financial resources by significantly reducing network costs of paying for service insights technology and accessing data, while adding value for the network
