Abstract:
Wasting edible food in houses, restaurants, and weddings is getting normal. In our country, nearly half of children don’t get food to meet their daily nutritional value. On the other hand, wealthy people are throwing away edible food regularly. Some people are donating food to the needy but they can’t do it on a regular basis. That’s why we developed a website that helps them share their food, clothes, and books, which they don't need. Users can post their food/items which are termed as waste after their use. Users can share food, clothes, and books. For sharing, users have to register on our website. Signup is easy, the user needs to input only his name, email, and contact number. Then he will select the category and input his/her name, contact number, address, food expiry date and time (not needed for book and cloth), and input some images of his/her shared item. A user can input a maximum of 4 images. This request is posted on the website. Needy people can raise a request for the food/items. For requests, they have to create an account. Once the request has been made SMS will be sent to our registered volunteers. SMS will contain the sharer's name, address, and contact number. Then volunteers will see pickup and delivery details from the website and pick up the shared item and deliver it to the requester. Our volunteer team is 24/7 ready to deliver them to the requester. A requester can also pick the shared item from the sharer as the post will have sharer details. Benevolent users can donate to us to help us reach many people. Users can donate to us through MFS or bank account or card. Users will get our account numbers on the website. This is our first step towards reducing food and other waste.
