Sharebite has donated 18 million meals. Its CEO wants US employers to copy Brazil

Sharebite CEO Dilip Rao is urging U.S. employers to adopt meal-benefit models similar to Brazil’s 50-year-old worker food program, citing his company’s donation of 18 million meals as proof of the model’s potential. Rao argues that official hunger counts significantly understate the scale of food insecurity in America, leaving most hungry people uncounted. The push comes as employer-provided meal benefits gain traction as a workplace perk and a tool for addressing food access. Sharebite’s donation milestone underscores how corporate meal platforms can channel resources toward hunger relief. What to watch next is whether U.S. employers and policymakers embrace Brazil-style meal benefits, which could reshape how companies structure food-related compensation and charitable giving.
