Join local social workers and researchers Maria Wathen and Rachel Young as they present an overview of the types of technological innovations initiated by food pantries during the pandemic. From data management systems, radio frequencies, geocoding, YouTube spots, to online ordering, you will hear about the creative ways that food pantries implemented change to serve their neighbors. This session will present innovative uses of tech, as well as the challenges in implementation based on 39 interviews of directors/coordinators of food pantries in Illinois.
