The Bloomin' Brands IT team volunteered at the Gimme Shelter Codapalooza civic hacking event in Tampa Bay to create solutions for the homeless. They designed 60% of the Resources4U app, which took first place. The app helps the homeless locate nearby resources by GPS, find transportation options, and view resource contact information and constraints. The team is looking for help to complete the prototype app and have it ready to launch at an event in October.

“The Bloomin' Brands team won first place with their Resources4U application and were incredible encouragers to several other teams as
well. Their 72 hours of dedication and interest in the project was motivating to all of us. The judges and service providers are very much
looking forward to seeing this application carried forward and presented as a completed product at our October 26 Innovation Gathering
event.” ~ Kelley Sims, Sr. VP Tampa Innovation Alliance
