How U.S. Hunger connects leaders and data using Amazon Quick
aws ·
U.S. Hunger, a nonprofit that has delivered over 250 million meals, leverages Amazon Quick to bridge the gap between executive leadership and organizational data. CEO Rick Whitted utilizes the platform’s direct exploration capabilities and Quick Spaces to analyze financial information alongside the personal circumstances of families seeking assistance. This approach allows the lean team to share definitions for key performance indicators and collaborate on decision-making without relying heavily on technical support staff. The organization uses Quick to visualize patterns in food insecurity, identifying early warning signals such as affordability struggles before daily hunger occurs. By integrating data from systems like NetSuite and Salesforce, U.S. Hunger creates a comprehensive view of the social drivers affecting its beneficiaries. Leadership employs these insights to refine operational strategies and communicate effectively with prospective partners. Looking ahead, the nonprofit plans to expand its architecture by connecting more data sources into Amazon Redshift for broader enterprise analysis. Ultimately, U.S. Hunger aims to transform its internal data into a national resource that supports research and further funds its mission.
