Success!

We love this post from EngAGE “A garden success story at Patton Home Senior Apartments in Portland: Planning for summer began back in January. Now the garden beds will fill the food pantry, and the gardeners are already planning their winter crop! #ChangingAging #HealthyAging #PositiveAging #CommunityGardens ”

Using AI for Good

Gary Oppenheimer spoke about using AI for Good at the Ai4 conference on August 13.

The panel enlightened attendees on the transformative power of artificial intelligence as a force for positive change. Industry luminaries and social innovators discussed how AI was being harnessed to tackle pressing global challenges, such as combating climate change and improving healthcare accessibility.

Gary, an early pioneer in “micro computers” and electronic mail, has been exploring for some time, how an information based program like AmpleHarvest.org can take advantage of this next wave. Right now, AmpleHarvest.org is using AI to more rapidly extend its reach to more communities, improve the quality of its educational outreach, and will  shortly keep its mission critical food pantry dataset verified monthly rather than yearly. AI opens the door for nonprofits like AmpleHarvest.org to help assure that a $1 donation generates far more than $1 of impact.
