Abstract

Mobile App to Manage Food Distribution to Needy People aims to develop a mobile application that facilities the efficient distribution of surplus food to people in need, addressing both food waste and hunger. Every day, large quantities of edible food are discarded by households, restaurants, and business, while many individuals and families struggle to access nutritious meals. The primary objective of Mobile App to Manage Food Distribution to Needy People is to create a user-friendly, community-driven platform that connects food donors with volunteers and recipients in real time. The mobile app will allow donors to post available surplus food, enable volunteers to coordinate pickups and deliveries, and help recipients locate and receive food with ease. Key features will include real-time tracking, donation history, user verification, and automated notifications, ensuring safe, timely, transparent distribution. By using technology to streamline the process, it not only seeks to reduce food waste but also to build a network of support that empowers communities and promotes food equality. The expected outcome is a scalable, sustainable solution that can be expanded to serve multiple regions, ultimately to the global fight against hunger and supporting environmental sustainability.
