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.
