No Food Waste on Clubhouse

Description

The team of No Food Waste scouts for marriage halls, institutions and homes that might have excess food. The food is collected and then repackaged and distributed to the people in need. On an average, 600 plates of food were being provided daily as reported in 2017.
The movement started in Coimbatore and has now expanded to other districts in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Apart from a hotline, they also developed an app on which anyone who has excess food can log in. The person can send a message which is received by a volunteer of the organization. The volunteer then collects the food after connecting via app. The app also identifies hunger spots by crowdsourcing data to analyse the need.
