Don't waste food!

Inspiration

During the holiday season and even during other times, we see that a lot of food is generally wasted from events, parties, and get-togethers. This wasted food, instead of going to a landfill can be used to feed someone for example:

  • Homeless people
  • Orphanages
  • Homeless Shelters

What it does

Hungry Turkey has 2 modes. 1 for donating food and 1 for requesting food.
If you have extra food after an event, you can register on the Hungry Turkey app and specify

  • The location
  • What food there is
  • Approximately how many servings

Anyone who wants to request food and see the list and contact the donor to arrange a pick up for the food.

How we built it

The technology used is:

  • Node.js for the application
  • Cockroach DB for the database
  • Google Cloud Platform for hosting the database

Challenges we ran into

  • Getting the Cockroach DB single node cluster set up

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learned something new!

What we learned

Working with Node.js, Cockroach DB, and Google Cloud Platform

What's next for Hungry Turkey

  • Make a GUI website/mobile app to make it easy to use
  • Add a picture of the food
  • Add contact methods through the app
