# Greater Valley Food Bank Success Story

_Published: May 1, 2026_  
_Author: Riddhi Patel_  

## Greater Valley Food Bank Achieved 95% On-Time Distribution Across Three Counties with Upper

A Central Ohio food bank operating 20 refrigerated trucks across Franklin, Delaware, and Licking counties replaced paper route sheets with optimized mixed pickup-and-delivery routing, cutting missed-pickup food waste from 2,000 to 300 pounds per week and capturing 15+ surprise donation pickups weekly that would have been lost.
