Aisle Won

  • Kel Smith

To address the growing problem of food scarcity among low-income populations, Anikto launched Aisle Won to connect at-risk residents with locally-grown sources of healthy and affordable food. First introduced in 2013, the program today serves 14,000 customers in 35 pickup locations and was named a "Future of Food Innovation" at SXSW. The first pilot of Aisle Won achieved a 540% increase in food assistance (SNAP/WIC/Double Dollars cash-matching) sales within the first eight months. https://www.austinchronicle.com/screens/2014-02-28/the-future-of-food-is-now/ http://www.takepart.com/article/2015/01/29/food-access-transit-hubs/ http://archives.oliverrussell.com/insights/changemakers/kel-smith-anikto-aisle-won
