About Our Founder
Sharing Spoons CT was founded by Johnny Guo, a passionate and driven student at Choate Rosemary Hall. As a young environmental activist, Johnny is dedicated to connecting schools, farms, and food pantries to facilitate the donation and distribution of excess food. He created the platform aiming to end hunger and ensure that no family in CT goes without a meal.
Our Mission
SharingSpoonsCT.org is a platform dedicated to connecting schools, farms, and food pantries to facilitate the donation and distribution of excess food. The website offers transparency for schools and farms to understand how food will be distributed, arranges logistics for food pickup and shipment to food pantries, and allows for initial contact to express interest. It also encourages volunteer participation and provides information about food donation opportunities and connections. Food pantries can apply for these opportunities as well. The site aims to match supply and demand and streamline the donation process for suppliers. Key features include a sign-up form for schools and farms, contact information for food pantries and suppliers, and an interactive map for locating food pantries. The design preferences include a user-friendly interface and hassle-free donation process for the suppliers.
