Sound familiar?
The same household, entered twice
When a returning family is hard to find, staff start a new record instead — so the same household gets counted two or three times, and the numbers you report to funders drift from reality.
The monthly report crunch
Reporting day means stitching spreadsheets together for hours and hoping the totals are right.

Food pantry FAQ
Is Boswell simple enough for pantry volunteers?
Yes. Most volunteers learn guest check-in in minutes. There's nothing to install, and most pantries are up and running quickly.
Can it track household size, visits, and what we distribute?
Yes. Record household size and visit history, and customize what you track for each distribution — food boxes, hygiene kits, clothing, or financial aid — to match your programs.
Can guests get a card for faster check-in?
Yes. Each household can get a membership card with a QR code. Print it, save it as an image, or email it to the client. At the next visit, scan the card or type its code to find the client. You can also print a sheet of eight cards for the clients added in the last 7 days, or for the clients a search finds.
Can I produce reports for my funders and food bank?
Yes. Generate demographic and service reports filtered by date and program, and export them to CSV for Excel or Google Sheets, ready for your board, funders, and partner food bank.
