In 2022 these efforts and donations resulted in 130,000 meals distributed in the USA, 17 countries with active projects, 108 partner organizations and 9,500 volunteers.
A MATTERbox is a kit that includes materials and food that can be distributed locally by volunteers. Each Snack Pack includes a personalized note, an education card, Wow butter, crackers and a fruit pouch.
The boxes can be given through schools, religious organizations, First Responders, food shelves, companies and neighbors. MATTER 360° also helps distribute functional medical and industrial equipment to
