Food Bridge

Do you have surplus food to share, or are you in need of a meal? Join us with Food Bridge.

In the United States, each year, more than 100 billion pounds or nearly 40% of food is wasted, while 47 million people, including 14 million children, face food insecurity. The food waste not only impacts the economy and exacerbates food insecurity, but also causes environmental issues including climate change. The wasted food generates around 10% emissions of the gases responsible for global warming. The Food Bridge APP is designed to connect users with extra food and those in need of food. Food Bridge empowers users to either donate or receive food easily. Donors can list food items along with descriptions, pick-up times, locations, and contact information. Meanwhile, people can browse available food listings and pick up items at their convenience. Through Food Bridge, surplus food finds its way to those who need it most, effectively addressing both food waste and food insecurity issues.
