Study Arms (2)
Food Pantry Scheduled to Transition to Online Ordering
EXPERIMENTALLow-income adults who have visited the food pantry that is scheduled to transition to online ordering at least once. Participants will complete an in-person survey and a research assistant will record the food items they received in the relevant visit to the pantry. After the transition to online ordering at the intervention food pantry, participants will again complete the survey. Food selections for participants in the this arm will be accessible through the online ordering platform.
Food Pantry NOT Scheduled to Transition to Online Ordering
NO INTERVENTIONLow-income adults who have visited the food pantry that is NOT scheduled to transition to online ordering at least once. Participants will complete an in-person survey and a research assistant will record the food items they received in the relevant visit to the pantry. After the transition to online ordering at the intervention food pantry, participants will again complete the survey. Participants in this arm will record their food selections and send them to the study team.
Interventions
The intervention food pantry will transition to online ordering at least once.
