Data Collection

Accurate data is critical for helping you better manage your operation, demonstrate community impact, and meet reporting requirements. From tracking pounds recovered to food insecurity analysis, we provide data that helps make you successful.

The Challenge

A lack of consistent tracking and reporting through the entire supply chain makes it difficult to quantify the impact of programs, meet regulatory reporting requirements, ensure food safety, and maximize the effectiveness of food recovery operations.

Our Solution

Abound Food Care integrates with various tech platforms to track food donations through the entire supply chain. A variety of views are available including recovered food based on donor, food recovery organization, and/or jurisdiction. Reporting on client needs, such as food insecurity screening, and jurisdictional capacity studies enable a more complete understanding of needs and resources.

Outreach Data

Outreach to generators and food recovery organizations is a foundational element in creating regional solutions. Abound Food Care uses outreach data from capabilities assessments and capacity building efforts to provide summary level reports that enable effective strategic decisions. Outreach data is a key component that allows us to develop efficient solutions to reduce food waste.

Food Insecurity
Screening

The first step to fighting food insecurity is identifying it. Abound Food Care works in partnership with healthcare providers to implement screening questions that are included in the American Academy of Pediatrics toolkit to end hunger. This information provides a better understanding of the need for nutritious food and facilitates addressing food insecurity.

Data Tracking
and Reporting

Abound Food Care provides tracking and reporting to maximize the effectiveness and benefits of food recovery programs. Donors receive the data required for maximum tax deduction and compliance with local regulations. As part of completing capacity studies and implementing programs we provide a summary of all the data we found. This could include food insecurity screenings results, pounds wasted, pounds currently recovered, and more.
