Case Study: The Food Group strengthens food distribution with Software for Good

The Food Group connects tens of thousands of Minnesota households with Software for Good

Software for Good partnered with The Food Group, an organization fighting hunger in Minnesota, to address a critical challenge. After rapidly scaling operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Food Group was relying on an improvised patchwork of software applications to manage data and processes. They needed to strengthen their data collection and management to increase reliability, improve data quality, and make crucial operations more efficient.

Software for Good began with a tech audit and digital strategy assessment, which included staff interviews and a review of existing systems. This led to a comprehensive set of practical recommendations for improving data stewardship, system integrations, and IT investments. The vendor provided The Food Group with a clear technical roadmap, enabling them to continue their vital mission of connecting hungry Minnesotans with healthy food more effectively and with a stronger equity lens.
