 And now I am excited to introduce to you some people who are gonna share the smart solutions using their phone to reduce hunger and eliminate waste. Today we have with us, Anthony Levain. Anthony is the head of product at Food Rescue Hero. I love that name, Food Rescue Hero combines technology, last mile logistics and community engagement to create a new food recovery redistribution network that effectively delivers fresh and highly perishable food directly to those who need it most. So I'm Anthony, very nice to meet you all. Thank you for taking the time to listen. So the relationship between food waste and hunger is pretty well understood at this point. Most of you already know that in America, about 40% of our perfectly good food gets wasted. And Aretha already told us that around two billion people are experiencing food insecurity right now. Food recovery is a promising idea for solving all these problems, but it isn't yet ubiquitous. So at Food Rescue Hero, the question we asked ourselves was if we're serious about ending food waste and hunger, then how can we scale food recovery? Do we just need to keep adding more and bigger trucks to try to recover more food from more places? Almost half of the food waste actually occurs at the retail levels, so grocery, restaurant, et cetera. Those potential donations are everywhere. They're small, they're unpredictable, and time sensitive. So to recover all this healthy, fresh food, the traditional logistics model would be really expensive and inefficient, which makes it impossible for many people and organizations that wanna help. Through our work in food recovery, we've learned that volunteers using their own transportation are extremely responsive, efficient, and reliable. As Aretha mentioned, they are able to provide a 99% service level on average. They just need to know where to go and what to do. So if we can build a movement with Food Rescue Heroes all over the world, there's no limit to the impact that we can make together. And if we can sustain that impact by keeping those volunteers engaged, rescuing food week in and week out, then we believe we really can end food waste and hunger. So technology alone won't solve food waste, but community action has the power to ignite change and Food Rescue Hero is designed to be people powered in what we mean by that is that we make it easy for folks to start rescuing food right in their own communities whenever they have a half an hour of free time. We offer plans for organizations of any size that wanna recover food from brand new startups to establish hunger organizations with decades of experience. Food Rescue Hero helps volunteers succeed by guiding them step by step through their food rescues to ensure that they have all the info they need right when they need it, which sets them up for a great experience. And we also provide food rescue operations teams with the training guidance and best practices based on the wisdom of those 12 cities that currently rely on our platform. We provide those teams with reliable data to demonstrate that impact to their partners, their funders, to the media and any other stakeholders that they have. So here's how it works. We accept donations via a web form and the dispatcher uses the Food Rescue Hero web app to match them with the appropriate recipient. When that dispatcher publishes a new food rescue, all the nearby volunteers will get a push notification letting them know about the opportunity. The volunteers can claim that rescue or a number of others on a one time or a weekly basis. We've also recently launched home delivery routes to increase food access and convenience for folks who maybe can't get to their neighborhood pantry or distribution site, which includes so many people during this pandemic, of course. And for the volunteer that claimed the food rescue our mobile app then guides them through completing it, providing easy to follow directions and instructions every step of the way. Meanwhile, the dispatchers can monitor the status of all the rescues that are happening in real time to see which ones are moving along nicely and which ones might be unclaimed or stalled so they can reach out to the relevant people and get those rescues completed. And then we compile all the data that's gathered by all those folks into reports so organizations can access their information whenever they need to. So operations teams love Food Rescue Heroes Automation, which allows them to easily onboard volunteers to pick up food rescues every week without needing to recruit each time or remind them individually. And volunteers love that they can request a sub whenever they're sick or going to be on vacation so that day's rescue will be available for another volunteer and that food won't get wasted. Food Rescue Heroes love that the app provides them with really detailed special instructions including contact information and even photos showing them where they need to go. Those things make sure they have everything they need to complete their food rescue. And then those volunteers can also see their infographics showing their impact in their city, their own personal impact and the entire, excuse me, the entire Food Rescue Hero network. Many people like to share these on social media which is really useful for growing the movement, growing that volunteer community in your area. For our technologists who are curious, our app is built with Ruby on Rails, we use the Ionic framework and it all has a Postgres database. And if you're interested in partnering with us, you can check out our website foodrescuhero.org or email us to schedule a demo. We'd love to show you what it can do. Thanks.
