RedBit announced as the winner of the 2020 Microsoft Community Response and finalist of the Social IMPACT Partner of the Year INSPIRE awards. RedBit is honoured to be globally recognized for their efforts. The Microsoft Community Response award recognizes partners providing innovative solutions or services to help solve challenges for our customers and community during the COVID-19 pandemic. RedBit’s winning work was with Canada’s largest food rescue organization, Second Harvest which saw them scale their FoodRescue platform nationally to ensure that those in need of food during this pandemic could be reached.
“We here at RedBit feel thrilled about winning and being finalists for such prestigious awards. We would like to thank our hardworking and dedicated team for making this possible, as well as Second Harvest for trusting us to help them deliver their vision. It goes to show how transparent we have been and the value a trustworthy partnership can provide in making the impossible possible,” said Mark Arteaga, president at RedBit. “Our submission for both Social Impact and Community Response highlighted the work we have done with Second Harvest in providing food across the nation for those who needed it the most, especially during these trying times.”
Awards were classified in several categories, with honorees chosen from a set of more than 3,300 submitted nominations from more than 100 countries worldwide. RedBit was not only recognized as the global winner for community response during COVID-19, but also as a global and Canadian finalist for the Social Impact Partner of the Year award. This award recognizes a partner who has helped the digital transformation of a nonprofit organization. RedBit successfully enabled Second Harvest to be more productive, more innovative, and ultimately, to drive greater societal impact.
