MealTics is a social enterprise that aims to help fight hunger in America by connecting restaurants, customers, and organizations in need of food donations. Customers can purchase healthy meals from participating restaurants for $1-4 each, with 50 cents from each meal going to MealTics and the rest to the restaurant. The purchased meals are then donated to local soup kitchens and shelters. The platform allows customers to share their experience on social media and enter to win monthly prizes. MealTics projects serving over 50,000 users and partnering with over 30 restaurants and 30 organizations by 2012.
