Grain&Gather

Grain&Gather is a packaging and service design concept aimed at providing dignified food assistance to international refugees in urban areas. The project seeks to make food support more accessible to newly-arrived individuals, addressing common barriers today such as language, dietary needs, and fear of authority. Recycled cardboard packaging in house-shaped boxes evokes a sense of home, with allergen warnings and diet information marked for easy selection. Postcards and loyalty cards offer a welcoming gesture and encourage the use of food bank services without concern for documentation.
