undergraduate students, groups, teams or organizations developing hardware, software, events or programs
that support healthy, sustainable, connected, and equitable livelihoods in the United States and abroad.
</p> -->
<p>
Established January 2020, CITRIS provides technical support and mentoring to
student
teams from Merced College and UC Merced. The teams combine coding, database
management,
communications, and marketing skills with user experiences to address societal
problems.
<br>
<br>
This semester, the teams are developing solutions for the Merced Food Bank. The
best teams
will be selected by the Merced Food Bank to continue developing the prototype
under the guidance
of the The Seed Fund.
<br>
<br>
Tech for Social Good Merced focuses on addressing the Merced Food Bank’s
challenges: <br>
<b>
• Poor information environment leads to poor optimization of allocation <br>
• Human error for accounting is high because of low-verification options
<br>
• Culturally relevant food systems are limited.

</h3>
<p>
In its first semester, the CITRIS Tech for Social Good program at UC Merced
provided students with an opportunity to build tech skills, learn from a
entrepreneurial mentor, and help the community partner, the Merced County
Food Bank. The competition included 12 student teams.

<p>
<a href="https://mmcfb.org/">Merced County Food Bank</a> supplies
community organizations, seniors and school programs, and individuals
with nearly 5 million pounds of food annually. They described transitioning
to a faster, more accurate system of accounting and were interested in
providing culturally relevant food. After explaining their needs,
executive director Bill Gibbs served as a judge of the final projects at
<a href="https://innovatetogrow.ucmerced.edu/"> Innovate to Grow</a>
online. Chris Medina, co-founder of the Tesserack Institute and UC Merced
alum served as a mentor and judge.

<div id="paragraph">
PhinesChen is a project that aimed at transforming the Merced County Food Bank
website and database by tackling three main issues. <br> First, the team of
three UC
Merced Computer Science and Engineering majors created a brand new site with
updated information about the bank,<br> a map to help locate food distribution
sites
to anyone on the website, and a login system for the admins and users.<br><br>
Second,
the team digitalized the storage system by creating a backend database to store
inventory information and added a front-end component for easily inputting data.
Then, they built a tracker to stay informed when a shipment will reach the food
bank or reach a distribution site. Lastly, they created an administrative user
interface so all data related to MCFB can be tracked including amount of food,
money donated/spent, requests/donation forms, and much more. All these changes
were done on one web platform with intuitive and attractive design intended for
ease of operation.
