can register on the website as a volunteer or donor, filling in
the information needed for authentication of the user. Now, the

Only certified restaurants and NGOs can register here. If the
user is already a part of our website, then he/she can log in on
to the website to access it again. Now, the donor will make a
request indicating that there is food available, then this request
will be visible to the volunteer registered on the website. Any
volunteer can accept the request and send an employee to pick
up the food. The earlier request raised by a donor will be
removed after getting accepted by a volunteer. For
confirmation that food has been donated by homeless people,
the volunteer can send pictures of it to the donor.
