U.S. Hunger, a U.S.-based nonprofit fighting food insecurity, announces the adoption of Amazon Quick to connect its internal data with strategic decision-making. According to the announcement, the solution enables leaders to directly explore beneficiary data, share KPI definitions and financial contexts via Quick Spaces, and analyze policy questions with Quick Research.
The organization, which has distributed over 250 million meals and experienced 500 % growth over four years, now uses Amazon Quick to access its data through a proprietary platform, Impact Manager. Data refreshes are scheduled nightly at 2 AM ET from SQL Server to SPICE, Amazon Quick’s in-memory analytics engine. Seventeen staff members, including the CEO and leadership team, now use the solution to refine reports, share common definitions, and explore financial scenarios.
This initiative aligns with a broader goal to make data accessible beyond the organization, with plans to create a national hunger-data dashboard. U.S. Hunger also envisions a paid enterprise offering for companies, aiming to fund its mission. Since 2020, the nonprofit has collected over 300,000 aid requests, with 91.2 % reporting skipped meals, underscoring the urgency of its work.
