For food banks

When the need is in the headlines, your donors should hear it from you.

Egg prices spike. SNAP benefits lapse. A hurricane closes the roads. Food banks on ViewSpark record a 60-second video on the warehouse floor and it's in donors' text messages the same day — while they're still reading about it.

Why food banks use it

Your best fundraising moments have a shelf life of about a day.

Hunger Action Month & the holidays

Thanksgiving is built in September. A weekly video from the warehouse — the turkeys, the volunteer line, the first delivery — keeps donors with you all the way to year-end.

Price spikes & policy news

When eggs hit $8 a dozen, Central California Food Bank had a video in donors' inboxes while it was still the top story. That's the send that raises the most.

Disaster & emergency response

A flood, a fire, a freeze. Your donors hear what you need from you first — by text, with a video — not from the evening news.

Monthly donors

Behind-the-scenes updates make a $20-a-month donor feel like part of the crew. Central California Food Bank added nearly 100 new monthly donors on ViewSpark.

Thank-yous that get watched

After a big drive, show donors what their gifts did — the pallets stacked, the trucks loaded. A simple thank-you video keeps them close, and it often brings in the next gift.

Works with your CRM and your agency

ViewSpark runs alongside your mail, email, and CRM — it lifts every other channel rather than replacing one.

From the warehouse floor

Central California Food Bank

Egg prices were the story of the week. Instead of a press release, the food bank sent a short video from the floor showing what that meant for the families they serve — and what a gift would cover. Here is the actual send, exactly as donors received it.
