Our Objective: Increase civic participation of community members by removing barriers (having to personally drop off food) to participate in food donation.
How it works: Users visit the MinneEndHunger website where they can fill out their address, email, and donation information. They will receive an automated email from the MinneEndHunger team. Donors will be directed to put out food out where they usually take out their trash on a certain non-trash pickup day. Our pick-up drivers will come to the addresses to pick up the food donations. The food can later be sorted and donated to food shelves
How we built it: Using React JS for the website and Python REST API using Flask for the webserver.
Challenges we ran into: Git merge issues. Making requests to a webserver and getting text out of a data entry field.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: The website renders.
What we learned: To work as a team. Websites will check to see if it's 'legal' to pull something from a webserver
What's next for MinneEndHunger: The website will be more user-friendly and functional
