ABOUT
We believe health equity starts with dignity.
Bento is on a mission to eliminate food insecurity by enabling healthcare, community, and government organizations to improve the health and well-being of their most vulnerable populations.
Right now, 54m Americans experience food insecurity, including 18m children.
That means that 1 out of 6 people in the U.S. have to deal with the daily and ongoing stress associated with not knowing where their next meal will come from.
It’s time to approach food insecurity differently.
Bento envisions a world in which food insecurity is no longer a barrier to health, wellness, and the pursuit of a purposeful life.
Everything we do is designed to express our company values and to preserve dignity, build trust, and ensure equitable access to services meant to support health and well-being.
