Over 100 billion pounds of food goes to waste in America every year. Restaurants and caterers compost or dispose food that can be served to people through foodbanks. Safety is a major factor since prepared food has a short shelf life and needs to reach foodbanks with minimum delay. FoodBridge is an easy to use mobile application that aims to connect sources of excess food to foodbanks by sharing information about the type and quantity of food in real time. The redistribution of food occurs locally and is prioritized based on proximity. The application is made available to organizations who are partnered with Food Lifeline and certified by them to handle perishable food. This ensures that stringent safety standards are maintained during the entire redistribution process. Our aim is to build a sustainable community that encourages, engages and simplifies food redistribution.
