For our final capstone project at IU we partnered with Toyota Mobility Foundation, where my team was tasked to tackle the logistics and mobility challenges faced by food banks and pantries across Indiana.

Through research and surveys, we found out that outdated systems, lack of communication, and no real-time inventory visibility led to a lot food wastage and missed opportunities for redistribution.

To tackle this, we designed FoodLink. It is a web-based platform where food banks, pantries as well as food donors can come and list available surplus food available. Other organizations can then easily request this food and coordinate pickups which makes food distribution more timely, transparent, and efficient.
