Update on my Food Rescue Initiative for my local town!!!
Two Things.
One, I've been getting hooked up with the local mutual aid crowd in my town and met some wonderful people recently!!! One of them is an organizer and is very very interested in creating more Free Fridges throughout town annnnnnd is very interested in setting up a Food Rescue program!
So her and I have been teaming up to get it done.
Two, we just had a meeting with a national (United States) group that has their own web app for coordinating between food contributors (the places that create the food and would otherwise throw out the good food that wasn't sold), food distributors, and the gleaners / volunteers who connect the two... basically logistics.
It was a good meeting and we may start to work under their aegis.
We're doing a technical demo of the web app this week hopefully.
If we decide to go with them, I'll put the update here.
I'm excited!!!
