Inspiration: Every day, a huge amount of food goes to waste while
millions of people struggle with hunger. Restaurants, event organizers, and households often have surplus food but lack a proper way to donate it. At the same time, NGOs and shelters face difficulties in securing enough food for those in need. This mismatch happens because there is no easy and efficient system to connect food donors with receivers. So decided to bridge this gap by using technology to make food donation simple and accessible
What it does: The platform is a digital bridge connecting food
donors(restaurants, households, event organizers) with receivers (NGOs, shelters, underprivileged communities) in real-time. Donors can list surplus food with details like type, quantity, and pickup location. Receivers can request for food based on their needs. Volunteers help with pickup and delivery, ensuring efficient distribution. Location-based matching ensures food reaches the nearest needy individuals quickly
How we built it: • HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Frontend)
• Node.js (Backend) • SQL (Database) • Location-Based Services (for food pickup and delivery tracking
Challenges we ran into: Collecting information and connecting bata base and backend to the frontend
Accomplishments that we're proud of: Learned new thing of connecting dBs and frontend and backend
What we learned: 1.Inculcating humanity in the project
- Developing User authentications and according to the requirements of the users
