Feature: Display links to other regional programs like Meals on Wheels, community fridges, etc. that otherwise don't appear in our database

Context

There are a lot of other food distribution systems that aren't in our database — for example: Meals on Wheels, LA's Free School Lunch programs, or Community Refrigerators.

Is there a way we can display info for or mention these in our search results? How would that look?

These programs tend to be regional / covering a region, and have their own dedicated websites with instructions.

Proposed new feature

Could we display listings for these programs in our search results, based on the user's location?

For example, perhaps a section: "Additional meal programs in this region" with links and a short description above the search results with links.

Clicking a link would open a new window/tab with that program (to https://www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org or to a sepcific program in that region, like https://www.svmow.org/if-you-need-meals/#start-screening)

This space might also be useful to display links to national food and money assistance programs such as SNAP or WIC.

Discussion

• What programs might make sense?
• How should this appear? Might not look good at the top of our listings.
• Is there a way to better incorporate these into our database?
