Adding Images
Photos can be added to the location profile to help the listing stand out from others in the search results. Providing images that guide agency patrons through using a service is a great way to help them feel at ease and prepared. Adding images of your front door, entryway, parking lot, or other applicable area can resolve confusion on where to go if visiting the agency for the first time.
NOTE: Photos with client faces shown must have a waiver on file. Please contact the associated food bank network if you have questions about image consent and guidelines around clients being shown on an agency profile.

Best Practices for Location Images
Adding images to a profile is a great way to help map users know what to expect when coming to visit a location for the first time. Here are some tips and tricks to use your image gallery to the fullest:
Add a picture of the location’s entrance. Adding an image of the front door or entrance of a location can be a great way to help neighbors know they’re in the right place. This is especially helpful if the entrance is in the back of a building or otherwise difficult to find.
Add a picture of signage on the location. Adding an image of a sign for an agency visible from the road or other visual indicator that a neighbor is in the right place can do wonders to help people feel prepared to visit the location.
Add pictures of the interior of the location. Adding images of the location’s interior helps create a sense of familiarity upon visiting.
Get consent from any person featured in your images. If any images you feature in the gallery include people, especially neighbors, you must get consent from each person to have their likeness featured in your profile.
