-
Kansas City does not have a resource to connect food suppliers and organizations that provide food stuffs to the community.
-
Many grocery stores, and restaurants throw away food that could go to good use.
- Some of these items will expire soon.
- Others items may have damaged packaging or other small defects that do not affect the quality of the product, but the store is still unable to sell the items.
-
A large amount of food is unnecessarily wasted.
-
Our community needs food assistance programs to thrive and care for those in need.
- Food For Cause provides a platform to connect local community outreach programs, like food banks and kitchens, with companies that have food to donate.
- This will help to reduce food waste, put the food to good use, and strengthen the community.
- Grocery Stores, restaurants, and other businesses login and then post their available food items (including quantity, and expiration date).
- Food banks, and kitchens may reserve and pick up items.
- Unreserved items that are nearing expiration will be tweeted and text (SMS) to let the community know about their availability.

- These issues seem to stem from the way that the info is centered on the top image.
- Possible solution: Make the
FoodForCausetext at the top a permanent part of the img, or fixed position, and then have the rest of the stuff centered in the remaining space. (Thoughts, Meg?) - OCT.21: Perhaps remove the bio section at the bottom of every page and add an
about uspage with the pics/bio, also add a link for bug reporting, and a problems/soution/detailed description of the site (it should match the readme, and there is a sectiona about that below). - add.html
- top of page is cut off, can't see 'food for cause' title
- available.html
- The papge starts further down than 'view.html' ... maybe an extra div?
- Possible solution: Make the
- Oct.21:
- The Food For Cause title and the menu bar are not fixed, and they get pushed up and cut off when there are more than a few results (a problem on all pages)
- The search results overflow and break the page style
- Calculate remaining time until items expire, and display it use it for twilio / tweets
