bold\"> it worth it to put in the time to use software like Food Rescue U.S.?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes it is! Using the Food Rescue U.S. software is so great because it is a standardized system. With Maine being so spread out, people all over the state are already rescuing food, but with all of the different systems in use, it is impossible to communicate between organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we first began using this program, we tried to recruit organizations from Lincoln County, Rockland, and Waterville. However, they already had different systems of communicating with donors, and it became difficult for this new software to catch on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we could get all of our powerful organizations throughout the state to use one system, we could stretch our reach and improve food rescue infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a standardized system like Food Rescue U.S. means you can handle more donors and data points. To take things a step further, having all of this data stored in one place helps to prevent issues and confusion caused by turnover.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column2251_7a5222-34 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2251_7a5222-34\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Portrait of Ariana Walker\" class=\"wp-image-1837\" style=\"width:306px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-105x105.jpeg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-317x317.jpeg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-423x423.jpeg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-634x634.jpeg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-846x846.jpeg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-951x951.jpeg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-1268x1268.jpeg 1268w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2-32x32.jpeg 32w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/foodrescuemaine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/615\/2021\/11\/Image-2.jpeg 1362w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Food Rescue MAINE offers a flexible schedule as a site director, that allowed myself to increase the bandwidth of the program only up to the degree I thought was feasible.
