Provides a great solution to two issues
This app is amazing. I love the concept and I think everything runs smoothly on the platform. They are super personal with their support as well, texting and calling with any changes or important information. My only suggestion is make it easier to share this with friends and spread the concept! How can we grow the platform as individuals, can we sign up or submit new business ourselves? Keep up the great work!
They’ve made it so easy to help!
I’m so grateful this app exists! Someone was in touch as soon as I signed up, helping me to get started and immediately connecting me with a pick-up location. The app itself is super user-friendly, and walks the volunteer through exactly what they need to do and where they need to go!
* No Donation button makes it quicker to close out a rescue if the donor doesn’t have any food to pick up that day. * New food rescue hero illustrations when you complete a rescue! * Updated privacy policy with information about deletion of user data. * Improved user experience for users who have Location Services turned off. And we fixed some bugs.
