Link2Feed is an approved Client Management System for tracking client services and group programs to serve people in the community.

The program itself is user friendly and  is currently being used by 3336 organizations in Canada, United States and very recently in the United Kingdom (Feeding Britain- 14 different areas).  Here in Canada, L2F is the Provincial Food Bank software for Ontario and Nova Scotia, and will probably be endorsed by more Prov.
