Nick Marino: An App to Feed the City
The rate of American citizens who go to sleep hungry is growing by the day. The organization Feeding America found that people living in Dallas County are 47% more likely to experience food insecurity than the national average. People like Nick Marino Jr. cannot stand by while there is a problem to solve. In 2012 Nick decided to leave his comfortable corporate job to help build a brand that provides food for hungry Americans and helps grow local businesses. TangoTab, a socially good brand, allows a person to donate food to hungry Americans just by checking in with their smartphone when arriving at their favorite local restaurant. Now, TangoTab is a leader in the fight to end hunger.
