I would go so far as to say this issue is not limited to FOSS software, but the tech world in general. There is a gaping chasm between the pie-in-the-sky sci-fi dreams being promised for the world of tomorrow by the techbros of today and the way work actually gets done in 99% of the world. Throwing computers at the problem won't help anything. No offense meant to people who are working on solutions to the world's problems, but the optics here are those of a problem that doesn't necessarily benefit from the added technical overhead of the solution. If I'm understanding the linked website correctly it's not a single software package but an organization for groups developing their own software independently for specific food pantries. Maybe there's some kind of intention to collaborate on these projects or combine work toward general-purpose pantry management software, but it's not clear from the site.
