Abstract

Share-a-Meal: A Community-Driven Food Sharing Platform.


Food wastage is a growing concern, with surplus food from homes, restaurants, events, and
grocery stores often going to waste. At the same time, many individuals and families struggle
with food insecurity. Share-a-Meal is a platform designed to bridge this gap by enabling users to
share excess food at minimal cost, ensuring it reaches those in need while promoting
sustainability.

Key Features:

 User Account Management: Users can create and manage profiles, track transactions, and set
preferences for food categories and locations.
 Food Listings: Individuals, restaurants, and event organizers can list surplus food with details such as
quantity, freshness, and pickup options.
 Search & Request: People can browse available food based on location, type, and availability, with
filters for dietary preferences and urgency.
 Minimal Platform Charge: Instead of charging for the food itself, the platform collects a small
service fee (e.g., 10% of the original price) to maintain operations.
 Pickup & Delivery Options: Users can choose between self-pickup or delivery through partnered
logistics providers.
 Trust & Quality Assurance: Ratings, reviews, and user verification help ensure food quality and
reliable transactions.
 Donation & NGO Integration: Non-profits and community organizations can collect bulk food
donations and distribute them efficiently.

Technology Stack:

Share-a-Meal is built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js),
ensuring a scalable, responsive, and dynamic platform:

 MongoDB: A NoSQL database to efficiently store and manage food listings and user data.
 Express.js: A backend framework that enables smooth API interactions.
 React.js: A fast and interactive front-end framework for an intuitive user experience.
 Node.js: A powerful runtime that ensures seamless server-side operations.

By connecting food providers with those who need it, Share-a-Meal reduces food waste, fosters
community engagement, and makes nutritious meals more accessible. This initiative not only
supports sustainability but also strengthens social responsibility by encouraging a culture of
sharing.
