Volunteer research program

Research candidates. Never verify your own submission.

Help us identify potential local food suppliers and food-distribution organizations across the country entries now listed worldwide. Volunteer research creates leads — it does not create Verified partners.

Research safeguards

Volunteer access is deliberately limited.

No volunteer can approve a partner, authorize a payment, or turn a candidate green on the public network.

01

Declare conflicts

Disclose personal, family, professional or financial ties to any candidate.

02

Use two sources

Provide at least two independent public sources wherever reasonably available.

03

Official channels

Contact details must be independently confirmed from official or authoritative sources.

04

No financial access

Volunteers never receive donation funds, bank credentials, passwords or private recipient data.

05

Staged verification

Only independent review and documented operations can advance a candidate toward Pilot Verified.

Step 1

Apply as a research volunteer.

Start with one country. We are looking for careful source-based research, not speed.

Step 2

Submit a candidate for independent review.

This form creates a research record only. It never verifies a partner automatically.

Core principle

Don’t trust one person. Verify every step.

Research is separated from verification, money, delivery confirmation and public approval.
