FoodNex, developed by Forward Future, is a nonprofit program designed to combat food waste by connecting donors with food pantries. It addresses the issue of food insecurity by facilitating the donation process between individuals, businesses, and organizations with excess food and hunger assistance programs.

With FoodNex, users have the flexibility to select from a range of registered food banks and food pantries for donations. They can send customized donation requests to ensure that the items are needed and can create multiple requests at any time. The program facilitates communication by providing contact information to schedule delivery, and allows food banks to showcase their listings with images, descriptions, and specific donation requirements.
