A five person IT staff with five iSeries [recently renamed System i] boxes help Catholic Charities in St. Paul and Minneapolis serve 1.1 million meals to the hungry each year and provide 1,000 beds per night for the homeless.
Catholic Charities' IT department supports a CommunityCard program, using Lotus running on an iSeries. The program helps identify and keep track of the thousands of homeless that Catholic Charities serves each year. Each time a homeless person steps through its doors, they either show their identification card or, if they haven't been there before, are issued one."
