Why is ICS useful for food bank volunteers?

Food bank volunteers come from all backgrounds with different devices and calendar apps. ICS is the universal format that works everywhere, so no volunteer is excluded from adding shifts to their calendar.

Can we import all volunteer shifts into our food bank's calendar system?

Yes. Organizers export the complete signup sheet as an ICS file, then import it into whatever calendar system the food bank uses.

Does this work on older phones?

ICS is a long-established standard. Most phones made in the last decade support .ics files through their built-in calendar app.
