Curious where did the idea for the GleanTeam App come from?
Back in the winter of 2019-2020, Rolling Harvest, a food rescue organization based in Pennsylvania, started a partnership with us. MilkCrate is a mobile app builder for the nonprofit industry and we realized there was a need for an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution for gleaning programs that is fast and affordable. The Rolling Harvest team wanted to build a solution so their volunteers could quickly sign up to volunteer, receive reminders, and be a part of the community.
After a successful year with 289 users and over a thousand volunteer hours logged in the app the MilkCrate team wanted to make sure this technology was accessible to other gleaning and food rescue organizations.
One volunteer sent a chat using the app to let the Rolling Harvest team know how she felt...
“I was looking for a volunteer opportunity that felt safe and important during the pandemic. I found RH to be more than that. I found a group of friendly like minded folks who kept me grounded during this stressful time. Working together outside it felt so uplifting to be doing something as basic as harvesting food, but the organization made it feel so much bigger. The app makes it easy to stay informed and flexible and the short work window flew by leaving me wanting more. I had a great time and I miss it!”
