Food for Free is a great organization which rescues fresh food that might otherwise go to waste, and distributes it to those in need via the local emergency food system. During our Discovery process, a need for electronic food tracking was assessed. Because Food for Free is such a large organization, distributing more than 1 million pounds of food per year, the paper-based system they had long relied on was quickly becoming outdated. Our engagement with Food for Free resulted in the implementation of our Food Manager app. Now, Food for Free can track their food intake and distribution from mobile devices with real time roll-up into Salesforce. Watch the video to learn more about 501Partners’ work with this amazing nonprofit.
