"There was nothing that really allowed us to communicate in an efficient way. ... The Internet was right in front of us!"

"Too often, grocery stores and restaurants find themselves throwing out food when there is great need in nearby communities," Belding said. "MEANS aims to make it easier to donate food than throw it in the dumpster. ... We're like a bridge that hasn't existed before."
