HATCH is a 501 c3 non-profit that connects farmers and protein producers to food-insecure individuals and families through food banks. No other organization is doing what HATCH does. By creating consistent access to complete protein, the HATCH protein delivery model changes diets and improves nutritional health and delivers lifelong impacts.

HATCH has a shared value model that has delivered 20x growth in three years. Specifically, HATCH manages all logistics to source eggs, chicken, turkey, beef and pork from local farms and processors on a cost+ basis and deliver food banks at or below food bank budgets. Based on our growth and success so far, scaling this model can triple our impact by 2028.

HATCH is launching a strategic fundraising effort aimed at scaling our protein delivery model and expanding our reach. Investing in this movement focuses on long-term investments that enhance HATCH ’s capabilities and allow us to deliver 1 million protein rich meals per day, 2X protein availability, and 3X protein advocacy.

Food banks serve as the backbone of America's hunger system, acting as sourcing and distribution centers. Food pantries, on the other hand, are the "last mile," where individuals and families access food, nutrition, and support for healthier lives. Both play vital roles in working toward a more food-secure society.

Local food banks provide hunger relief — and we are proud to contribute. The HATCH difference is that in addition to feeding families today, our model creates nutrition security and changes diet habits to support lifelong health. As we scale and expand our reach, the impact of protein-rich meals has the potential to transform community health for generations.
