Feeding AmericaFeeding America supplies and distributes meals across the U.S. According to this article, Feed America uses this route planning software called Roadnet Transportation Suite to reduce the cost of meal deliveries. This software helps Feeding America find the shortest routes between the food donators and the food banks. In utilizing this software, Feeding America saves enough money to feed an additional 70 million people! Another way Feeding America uses technology to relieve world hunger is by providing volunteers with online tools to create their own Virtual Food Drive. By using their online tools, volunteers can create their own website to ask for food donations, set goals and help provide meals.
