  "account": "U.S. Hunger, a nonprofit organization, delivers meals to families in need while also gathering data to better serve those families. The organization has been operating for several years, with its data platform supporting its food-assistance work. U.S. Hunger's President and CEO, Rick Whitted, had a personal connection to food insecurity that motivated him to accept the leadership role. Rick discovered Amazon Quick through an AWS Social Entrepreneur Accelerator event and has since used it to explore the organization's data directly, without needing to ask the technology team for new data pulls. Quick allows Rick to develop definitions, share them with colleagues, and see how leadership thinks through problems. The organization has given 17 colleagues access to Quick across various departments, and Rick uses it to improve call reporting by integrating it with Salesforce call reports. This allows him to draft instructions for the technology team, comment directly on drafts, and refine them alongside source reports.",
  "summary": "U.S. Hunger, a nonprofit addressing food insecurity, uses Amazon Quick to connect organizational data with leadership decisions. Leaders explore applicant data directly, share KPI definitions and financial context in Quick Spaces, and investigate policy questions with Quick Research.",
