Restaurant Food Donation Program

Turning surplus food into meaningful support for communities in need. Join our network of restaurants making a difference one meal at a time.

About Our Food Donation Program

Every day, tons of edible food from restaurants go to waste—not due to quality, but due to excess. Our platform bridges the gap between restaurants with surplus food and volunteers/NGOs ready to distribute it to those in need.

Together, we can fight hunger and food wastage with a simple, real-time solution that connects food donors with those who can ensure it reaches people experiencing food insecurity.

How It Works

1. Fill the Food Donation Form

Add basic details about your donation:

  • Food type and quantity
  • Packaging status
  • Dietary information (veg/non-veg)
  • Upload a photo for quality assurance

2. Post the Donation

Once submitted, your donation request is immediately broadcast to all nearby volunteers and NGO teams in our network.

3. First Come, First Serve

The first available volunteer or NGO to confirm the request will get the pickup rights. This ensures a quick response.

4. Coordinate & Distribute

After confirmation, you and the volunteer can connect directly to arrange food pickup for distribution to communities in need.

Real-time Tracking

Our platform provides real-time updates on your donation's status, from pickup to distribution. You'll receive confirmation once your donation has successfully reached those in need.

Volunteers are responsible for timely pickup and fair distribution of food to those in need. This includes identifying appropriate recipients and ensuring food safety during transport.
