Abstract: The world is facing food crisis and many people are dying due to lack of proper food a day. Around 1,00,000 weddings, Family Functions, social events are held in our country every day. In every Indian wedding, food is the most important part and the most wasted too! About one-fifth of the food served at weddings and social gatherings is discarded. The food being wasted on each and every day at weddings and family functions in many places in cities would be enough to feed the city’s vast slum population. Moreover, there are many people across the country who are not even getting two meals a day and yet many are literally starving or begging for alms. Hence, it is better to distribute the excess food to such people who are in need of it instead of throwing the foods in the dumpsters. This is where our app comes into play. Our platform provides a way for each person willing to help to contribute in a way to those needy people. It also provides people who want to share and provide information about the possibility of available food helping those in need. The donor needs to post the image and other required details for contact. Then the receiver or the NGO people can claim the food. Whenever a person claims the food notification will be sent to the donor. Then the receiver and the donor can contact with each other so that the receiver can take the food. We help people to locate surplus food spots and hunger food spots. So that they can refer to the locations while donating.
