INTRODUCTION

• Introducing "Food for All: Community Sharing Project“. It's a project in our community
where we collect extra food and give it to people who don't have enough to eat. Our goal
is to stop wasting food, help those in need, and make our community better. Join us in
making sure everyone in our community has enough to eat.
OBJECTIVE

• Minimize Food Waste: We aim to reduce food waste by intercepting surplus food from
various sources such as restaurants, supermarkets, and households, ensuring that perfectly
good food doesn't go to waste.
• Alleviate Hunger: Our primary goal is to provide nutritious food to individuals and families
facing food insecurity, ensuring that everyone in our community has access to enough food
to meet their basic needs.
• Encourage Social Responsibility: Through this initiative, we aim to promote social
responsibility among community members and organizations, inspiring them to contribute
to the welfare of the less fortunate.
BENEFITS FOR COMMUNITY PEOPLE

• Access to Food Resources: Provides access to food for those in need, reducing hunger.
• Food Waste Reduction: Reduces food waste by redistributing surplus food.
• Community Engagement: Fosters community unity and shared responsibility.
• Convenience: Offers an easy way to find and provide food donations.
• Financial Relief: Alleviates financial strain by offering free or low-cost food.
• Environmental Impact: Decreases environmental impact by reducing food waste.
• Social Responsibility: Encourages individuals to contribute to community welfare.
• Awareness: Raises awareness about food waste and food insecurity issues
PROBLEM STATEMENT

• Developing an website that can help the people suffering from hunger to gradually reduce
with the help of the community. Where the community helps by indicating the food
availability in particular area that would b visible to the people around.
• As people have different jobs over them giving them a tight schedule to work , most
people may have excess food but not time to share it to those in need. So a website that
can gather and spread the availability info can help reduce hunger atleast to some extent.

SOFTWARE COMPONENTS

Frontend:
• HTML: For structuring the web pages.
• CSS: For styling and layout.
• JavaScript: For adding interactivity to the website, handling user interactions, and making API requests.

Backend:
• MongoDB: As the database to store and manage data such as user accounts, food donations, and recipient
information.
API Integration:
• News API: To fetch and display news related to the project, such as updates on food donations, community events, or
relevant news articles
ALGORITHM

Home Page with News Insights:

• Display a welcoming homepage that showcases insights from the News API, providing updates on
relevant news articles, community events, or other related information.
User Authentication:
• Implement a user authentication system to allow users to create accounts or log in.
• Store user information securely in a MongoDB database, including details like username, email,
and password.
User Dashboard:
• Upon successful login, redirect users to a personalized dashboard.
• The dashboard should prominently display two main options: "Provide Food" and "Find Food."
Providing Food:
• When a user selects "Provide Food," present a form for them to input details about the available food, including
type, quantity, and expiration date.
• Implement validation to ensure accurate and complete information.
• Store this information in the MongoDB database as a food donation entry.

Finding Food:
• When a user selects "Find Food," enable them to search for available food donations in their community.
• Implement a search feature that allows users to specify location, type of food, and other filters.
• Retrieve relevant data from the database based on user preferences and display available food listings.

Matching Donations to Recipients:

• Create a matching algorithm to connect users who want to provide food with those in need.
Communication and Coordination:
• Implement a messaging system to facilitate communication between food donors and recipients.
• Allow users to schedule pickups or deliveries and provide contact information for coordination.

User Profiles:
• Enable users to create and edit their profiles, including information about their location,
preferences, and a brief bio.
• Allow users to view and update their past food donation and recipient history.
WORK DONE

Frontend Development:
• Homepage: You've designed a welcoming homepage that displays insights from the News API, providing updates on
relevant news articles and community events.
