"Tomato" seems to be a component of a food bank logistics system called "Rootable" which may be fork of an older project called "Food Rescue Robot" (gitlab, github).

The purpose of these (and other projects like MEANS database) is to match up donors with recipients and schedule deliveries when they and the volunteer delivery are all available. This way food donations can be transferred quickly without having to have a warehouse full of almost expired food.

The tomato name collision is probably coincidental.
