Sharebite, the leading meal benefits platform built exclusively for companies, has officially published the results from its inaugural Impact Report, which has been designed to outline the company’s social and environmental initiatives, volunteer efforts, and collective impact made on the back of partnerships with corporate clients, restaurants, and hunger relief organizations in 2024.
Talk about the given report’s highlights, we begin from the company’s contribution towards feeding local communities. Here, Sharebite leveraged a meal donation model to provide critical support for communities in need throughout the nation. In total, the company would go on to complete more than 10 million meal donations.
Next up, we must dig into how Sharebite showed a knack of preaching greater corporate responsibility. You see, the company made it possible for its clients to bake corporate responsibility right into their daily workplace through significant contributions in terms of alleviating hunger.
We get to say so because Sharebite allots a donation to the local area wherever a meal is ordered on its platform, allowing employees across the board to automatically make an impact across their own community through company-sponsored meal allowance.
Markedly enough, the company also took this opportunity to shoutout a few clients for hitting major milestones in 2024. These clients include MarketCast with more than 15,000 meal donations completes, SKIMS with over 30,000 meal donations, and Wieden+Kennedy with 50,000+ meal donations.
“When we started building Sharebite 8 years ago, the societal impact was never an afterthought — it was the whole design,” said Dilip Rao, Founder and CEO of Sharebite. “Our bold mission envisions a future where no worker — or family — in America goes hungry.”
Moving on, Sharebite also made significant efforts to support local restaurants. This is made evident by the fact that, in 2024, 81% of Sharebite Passport, a meal allowance given to employees in the form of a virtual Visa® card, transactions were made directly with merchants and small businesses,
The whole drive, on its part, will go on to help more than 66,924 restaurants avoid expensive third-party platform fees, eventually injecting substantial boost into local economies.
Another detail worth a mention here is rooted in Sharebite’s bid focus on facilitating volunteer initiatives at scale. This translates to how the company was represented in 11 volunteer events across the country during 2024, propelling 31,085 pounds of food to be packed, 3,500 snack packs to be assembled, and 3,080 boxes of food to be prepared for those in need.
The company has also implemented several sustainability initiatives, including launching a new internal travel policy to encourage lower-emission transportation and partnering with eco-friendly restaurants, while simultaneously introducing an order batching model capable of cutting down on delivery trip emissions.
Among other things, we ought to mention how, since the start of its journey, Sharebite has worked towards solving America’s food insecurity problem, doing so by partnering with companies to feed their employees regardless of whether they are in-office, remote, or hybrid. The company’s excellence around that can be further contextualized once you consider, in 2024, it cracked the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (#35), Fast Company Best Workplaces for Innovators (#35), and the Inc. 5000 (#56) list.
As for the significance of Sharebite’s efforts, it can be better understood once you consider more than 47 million Americans presently face food insecurity on an annual basis.
“Work feels truly fulfilling when it involves making real changes to help those in need,” said Jessi Ortolano, Facility Director at Wieden+Kennedy. “Collaborating with Sharebite has been nothing less than phenomenal. Our employees can take pride in knowing they are making a difference.”
