#SDGAction31656
Texas State University Net-Impact
Description/achievement of initiative

The objective of this partnership is to reduce the administrative burden on the Hays County Foodbank. Texas State University's F.E.E.D team will develop a web application with the guidance and funds from Microsoft. Reducing the administrative burden would free up time and resources for Hays County Food Bank, so they can spend those resources working towards the UN SDG #2 Zero hunger. We'll be doing this by using the multiple stakeholders and partnerships as mentioned in UN SDG #17 Partnerships for the goals.
