Food Rescue Free Online Tracking Tool old

Free Tracking Tool

We thank the Kroger, Zero Hunger Zero Waste Foundation for their sponsorship. Because of Kroger's support we can offer a free online tracking tool for cafeteria managers, students, Eco clubs, teachers, or food pantry volunteers to track the impact of your efforts on the environment and hunger relief.

With each entry, you will receive your own "Impact Dashboard" image as well as a pdf file with an itemized list of your entry. You will also be inspiring your peers by adding to the Live Impact Dashboard.

Receive an Itemized List of Your Food Rescue.

A pdf file with an itemized list of your food recovery is sent after each entry.

Track Your Impact

We use the number of items recovered and calculate the number of meals you saved for families in need. We also calculate the reduced greenhouse emissions (lbs. co2e) by not sending this nutritious food to a landfill.

Explore the Data

Filter your data by School, School District, State, Year, Month or any combination of these.

Inspire Others

Download the graphics of your school's impact and share on social media, newsletters, etc. to inspire others to feed families and not landfills.

How Do I Sign Up and Make My First Quick Entry?

How Do I Make a Detailed Entry Instead of a Quick Entry?

Our new system has been working for us up here in Alaska. From the first day it was a hit!!! I was expecting some resistance from teachers who don't care to have food in the classrooms and also problems with garbage on the playground but.....none so far. The high school "hungry boys" love finding the fixings for PB & jelly sandwiches from the K-5 crew. A huge problem, that I cannot fix at this time is the recess timing. It IS after lunch and a LOT of kids will come in and dump their trays just to get outside. Maybe next year. All in all... it was welcomed as a great idea and the school news crew is going to be doing a section on your program...hopefully before school closes for the summer but if not we will be off to a great start next year. We are out the 27th of this month. I'm currently working on getting a summer food program started because I know a lot of our kids do not get to eat well at home. This has only been my 2nd year running the kitchen and I've made MANY changes to our waste problem. I've been in contact with a member of the Sustainable Southeast group that is working on a partnership with the tribal authority to help run an aquaponics site. Also...UAS in Sitka is doing a study on using recycled cardboard to grow mushrooms!!!! He is getting me that contact info soon. I'm soooo excited because mushrooms are seriously my passion!!! I'm already setting up to grow shiitake and other gourmet (but really medicinal) mushrooms at home using alder that has already been dropped around the island. I'm also going to set up at the school to sell and actually make money with our lunch program. I'm looking forward to working with K-12 Food Rescue your fabulous project and help change the habits of our locals. Please feel free to contact me with any more info you may have or just to check on our progress.

Sincerely,

Tricia Clough
