Know every household. Keep the line moving.
Locations, sessions, household registration, check-ins, and pickup and delivery routes. Count households served, not only boxes out the door.
Before Advocate.
- A paper sign-in sheet that somebody types up on Monday.
- No easy way to see who came last month or who is due this week.
- Delivery routes that live in one volunteer's head.
