Computers for Foodbanks

As a result of our ongoing communications with hunger relief partners, RFH was made aware of the critical need for infrastructure at smaller, community food banks.  A key infrastructure issue was a simple lack of computers.  RFH partnered and collaborated with Computers for the World (C4W), a 501 (c)(3) and another project of Rotary District 5030, to provide computers and specialized database software to small, community food banks.

C4W expanded its partnership with Newport High School’s computer lab students who refurbish used corporate computers to new condition.   RFH distributes the computers through our partners in the hunger relief system.  In addition, RFH makes the database software available, via web downloads, to small food banks that may already have computers, but need to become more efficient in processing and reporting data.
