Food Pantry Client Tracker Spreadsheet

I need a clean, easy-to-use Excel workbook that lets our pantry volunteers log each client’s visit and, at a glance, see how often people are coming, which ZIP or area codes we are serving most, and a running count of the demographics we report to our partners.

Core data to capture
• Client name or household ID
• Area/ZIP code
• Visit date (each time they come) – the sheet should automatically tally total visits per client
• Demographic check-boxes: Adults, Children, Seniors, Veterans, Disabled

What will make the file helpful
1. A front-end “Visits” sheet where staff enter one row per visit.
2. A hidden or protected look-up table that turns those rows into a summarized “Dashboard” showing:
– Total households served
– Total individual visits in any date range (simple slicer or filter is fine)
– Counts by area code
– Counts for each demographic category above
3. No macros are required; standard Excel formulas (COUNTIFS, SUMIFS, PivotTable, etc.) will keep it lightweight and future-proof.

Please lay it out so a volunteer with basic spreadsheet skills can add rows without breaking formulas, and name ranges clearly so we can expand the list later. A short set of “how to use” notes inside the file will finish the job.
