The problem FOOD DONATION SYSTEM solves

According to the latest survey, 1.3 billion tons of food is thrown as waste every year. Additionally, one-third of the food consumed is stated as leftovers.Presently people who wish to donate items need to personally visit the organizations and donate foods or other items. Otherwise, they have to search for some websites to donate surplus food. In general, the large manufacturers, wholesalers, and organized community provide food items to food banks or waste tons of foods daily. They have to search for some organization that needs food. This process involves a lot of time to contact the organization to check the requirement. If they do not need the food, then the person has to contact another organization. This makes the donor tired and exhausted.
Also there are many platforms available who ask for money for food donation for which many users are not ready, Indian users believe in donating surplus food instead of money, they believe donating food is trust worthier than money.

Challenges we ran into

The food fresh time is an issue while building the project and we overcame this issue by applying time filter that will showcase only those food items which are in that time duration.
