FeedKind: Bridging Generosity and Need

Abstract

This project describes the FeedKind application which is designed to address the critical societal challenges of food waste and food insecurity by establishing an efficient system to redistribute surplus food from restaurants, caterers, and food providers to vulnerable populations such as elderly care homes and orphanages. The overarching goal is to create a structured framework that minimizes food wastage while simultaneously ensuring that nutritious meals reach those who face difficulties in accessing them. Through strategic coordination with food providers and recipient organizations, this initiative aims to streamline the collection, safe handling, and timely delivery of surplus food. It recognizes the logistical complexities involved in handling surplus food and emphasizes compliance with legal regulations, ensuring food safety and quality throughout the redistribution process. The project places a strong emphasis on collaboration and awareness building within the community. By encouraging engagement from food providers and recipient organizations, this initiative seeks to establish a sustainable network that facilitates the transfer of surplus food to those in need.
