reports anytime they like to give to their bookkeepers. Food Cowboy also has a free system that food pantries and soup kitchens can use to set up and operate local food rescue networks. A charity simply asks local restaurants, caterers, and supermarkets to download the app and join its network by entering its unique four-digit "Cowboy Code." Then, whenever they have food to donate, they simply enter it on the app (or online), set a pickup time, and hit "Send" to alert the charity's drivers and volunteers. Anyone may download the app for free, but only approved charities can receive food through the system. This ensures that donations will be handled safely and be used only by their intended beneficiaries. The system satisfies all IRS requirements for charitable deductions as well as the federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. "In our great view of the world: Professional drivers feed America, one delivery, one RPC at a time. Food retailers might need consumers to waste food (otherwise, food sales would drop by a third), but they need truckers even more. So here's where we draw the line. It's NOT OKAY ANYMORE to waste food." –Roger Norris Gordon, JD, MBA, President, Food Cowboy CHANGING LANES CHANGING LANES CHANGING LANES AUGUST 2015 // WWW.CHANGINGLANESDIGITAL.COM 29 on the road
