Logistics for Food Donation

Problem: Punya-dan is Inconvenient

• Culture of donating food on many festivals, family events

• Donating money is easy, donating food is challenging• Ad-hoc donations to dharma shala or temples

• But many desire to donate to hospitals, homeless shelters etc

• Logistics is a big challenge• Finding Cooks

• Arranging delivery method and Finding bonafide recepients

• No confirmation or validation

• Unsatisfied donars and missed recepients• Wasted money, unfulfilled mission and lack of engagement
