Question

Ahmad is the founder of Copia, which she describes as "match com meets Uber for food  recovery." Conipanies use the Copia app to report when they have leftover food，what kind， and how much. When recipients (受助者) such as shelters, soup kitchens, and agencies first register  with Cupia, they indicate how many people they need to feed，on what days , and what kind of food they'll take. Cupia  makes a  profit from the fees that companies pay to remove leftever food；the companies receive a tax write-off for their food donations.

    How did Ahmad create Copia? As a senior at UC Berkeley, the found nearly 50 million Americans are at risk of going hungry every day, while more than 133 billion pounds of eatable food are deserted each year.

    Ahmad started a student group that recovered food from the campus and distributed it to local nonprofits.

    As rewarding as this was, the inefficiencies (低效) bothered her. One day, she got a call from the dining hall manager, who had 500 sandwiches left over from an event. She rented a car, loaded it with the food, and called non-profits. She found takers for only 25 sandwiches and ended up giving out the rest to a nearby park.

    “I remember thinking how cool it would be if people who had food could say, ‘Hey, we have stuff,’ and people who needed it could speak up, and then we could connect the two.”

    After she graduated, Ahmad launched Copia carlier this year, it operates in 40 cities in Northern California and has served over 700,000 people. Its biggest success—and challenge—10 date was this past Super Bowl：Copia recovered more than 14 tons of food, which fed more than 23,000 people.

    Despite her busy schedule, Ahmad tries to do a food pickup a week. "When you get to the shelter," she says, "If you wouldn't have eaten." And that's when I'm like, ‘This is why I do what I do.’
