ZIP Audit Checklist · Columbia, SC

Go ZIP by ZIP. Every food access site (pantry, community fridge, blessing box) is hand-checked on the web against the current rules:

  • General-public sites count toward Coverage, and senior-only pantries count with them.
  • Niche access (student-only, homeless-only, summer meals) and permanently or temporarily closed sites are excluded.
  • Partner orgs are not resources — any that carry a food service type must be corrected.
  • Office, administrative and paperwork hours never count as distribution hours.
  • 24/7 self-serve boxes are not staffed service windows (toggle above controls whether they count).
  • Sites with no schedule cannot be scored for Time Distribution, and a ZIP that doesn't match the site's real location must be fixed.
