Inspiration
My team and I kept seeing perfectly edible food go to waste while local shelters and community centers struggled to meet basic needs. We were inspired to build a platform that bridges this gap
What it does
Dasher connects food donors (like restaurants and grocery stores) with nearby nonprofit organizations. Charities can log in, view a map of available donations, claim items, and coordinate pickups — all through a sleek dashboard interface.
How we built it
We used React + TypeScript for the frontend, styled with Tailwind CSS and ShadCN UI for clean, accessible components. Data is dynamically loaded and mapped using leaflet.js, and interactions are managed through a secure claim flow. The UI is designed to be mobile-responsive and intuitive for busy nonprofit users.
Challenges we ran into
Integrating and customizing the map view to support accurate location pins and real-time updates Handling state management and component communication between the map and dashboard
