Kettering students help Forgotten Harvest food rescue operation grow

Laura Berman recently wrote about Forgotten Harvest, a food rescue operation in the Detroit area that recently became the nation’s largest. The story mentions how four Kettering interns have helped the organization grow:

A charity that, in 2001, when Goodell arrived, relied on an octogenarian volunteer statistician to track handwritten receipts, had a long way to go in terms of manpower, technology and logistics in its quest.

To handle the logistics of trucks and food, Goodell’s team hired four interns from Kettering University, empowering them to create a handheld computer system inspired by UPS: Mission accomplished.
