The #1 AI Phone Answering for Chicago Food Banks24/7 AI Answering for Chicago Food Banks

40% of Calls Go Unanswered

Chicago food banks receive an average of 1,500 calls per week, but due to limited volunteer availability and high turnover, 40% go unanswered, missing critical donation requests and client intake opportunities.

Untrained Volunteers Handle Calls

With 78% of food bank operations relying on volunteers, phone interactions often lack consistency, accuracy, and professionalism, leading to donor confusion and lost trust in services.
