Mountaineer Food Bank's new program, The Neighbor Connector, began piloting Feeding America's new intake app. This digital app will help the food bank and pantries streamline registration, cut down on most paperwork, pull easy-to-use reports, and help us understand and better serve our neighbors and connect them with vital services.
Here are our latest updates on the program:
December 2023
On December 5th, MFB’s mobile pantry in Braxton County used the app for the second time. Let’s compare numbers!
October 3rd: MFB Served 199 New Households Total
December 5th: MFB Served 227 Households Total (116 Households New & 111 Households Returning).
We see an increase from October to December. As we continue to use the app, we hope to predict when more food is needed. In this case, is it because of the holiday season? Was it because it was scheduled on a certain date when more people could attend? The more we track, the more we will be able to learn and serve better.
1st time using the app Lewis County Mobile on 12/15/23
We served 222 households which breaks down to 518 individuals
3rd time using the app at Greenbrier County Mobile on 12/27/23 We served 161 household or 377 individuals
Feeding America Grant
We’re excited to announce that the Neighbor Connector has received funding from Feeding America to add 30 USDA food pantries, Veterans Table, and additional mobile pantry locations to the app! This opportunity will expand capacity and help us learn more about our neighbors. Stay tuned for more grant updates in the next newsletter.
Thank you to the staff and volunteers who helped register neighbors!

I recently explored MoonPay and found it surprisingly intuitive for first-time crypto users. Transactions were processed quickly, and the interface felt familiar, much like an online checkout. The variety of payment options—from cards to Apple Pay—makes entry effortless, and knowing it never holds funds adds peace of mind. While fees are higher than typical exchanges, the convenience outweighs that for casual purchases. For those curious about how this platform performs today, check out these updated MoonPay reviews https://www.gncrypto.news/spot-trading/moonpay-review/ for a clear overview of its features and user experience.
Neighbor Connector sounds like a really useful way to build community and stay connected with those around you. It’s the kind of platform that pairs well with a short pause to play wordle online ireland, giving your mind a fun break while exploring local connections. Definitely a tool worth checking out for anyone wanting to strengthen neighborhood ties.
Hôm nọ mình tình cờ thấy mọi người nhắc đến KQBD khi bàn về việc xem kết quả bóng đá, nên cũng tò mò vào xem thử. Mặc dù không tìm hiểu kỹ lắm, mình chỉ lướt qua để xem cách sắp xếp thông tin. Thấy trang này trình bày khá ngăn nắp và dễ nhìn, nên việc đọc lướt không gây khó khăn. Với mình, chỉ cần như vậy là đủ để nắm được thông tin cơ bản rồi.
Hôm trước mình tình cờ thấy những người bàn luận về hb88 trên mạng, nên cũng muốn ghé vào xem thử cho biết. Mình chỉ lướt qua một chút để xem cách tổ chức thông tin thôi. Ấn tượng của mình là giao diện khá rõ ràng, các mục được phân chia hợp lý, dễ dàng nắm bắt nội dung mà không bị rối mắt. Nhìn chung, mình thấy như vậy là đủ để có cái nhìn tổng quan rồi.
On Nehamari, even moments of silence feel intentional. Sitting with a thought doesn’t feel empty or wasted. Instead, it feels like part of the process. The absence of pressure creates space for reflection, making it easier to understand what I actually want rather than reacting quickly.
