Food for Free: Assessing the numbers first

Hello!

Cindy and I asked Food for Free’s Operations Director to look through some of their data. They provided information from their operational database, such as locations of pickups and drop-offs, inventory present, and times of movement. We hope that we can help map out where drivers spatially move during the course of their day and better understand their organizational flow, before accompanying drivers on the delivery trucks and getting a sense of how that manifests physically and emotionally.

Though we were unable to meet with the Food for Free team last week, we are planning introductions with the drivers and full staff on Wednesday, and accompanying drivers later this week. We’re really looking forward to meeting the drivers and hearing their stories, and seeing how that informs the project.

Our next check-in will be with more stories of things learned from the data, and time with the drivers.
