Inspiration

I worked at an Arbys a long time ago, and at the end of every day we'd throw out any food we'd prepared but didn't sell. It was perfectly edible and going straight into the garbage and it just isn't right when there are hungry people in the world.

What it does

LA Food Help does two primary things - first is use a list of collated foodbank data to help the food insecure find food pantries nearby, and second it gives restaurant owners the ability to log recently donated perishable food to shelters and dropoff points to help the food insecure find and take it.

How we built it

LA Food Help uses next.js for the front end and Firebase for the back end.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating the backend turned out to be a bit trickier than I remember from my webdev classes, but we got there in the end!

My personal contribution

I was the primary developer and expert in correctly implementing the Firebase Firestore as the app's database.
