problem
Organizations like FoodStash work tirelessly to rescue surplus food and get it into the hands of people who need it most. But even for these groups, coordinating donations with charities and community fridges can be messy : calls, emails, and manual tracking eat up valuable time.
solution
We built Replate, a platform that streamlines food redistribution. Donor organizations can quickly segregate surplus items, while charities get real-time notifications and easy pickup coordination.
The result: a faster, more transparent system that makes donating food as seamless and rewarding as receiving it.
the challenge 🎯
"How might we transform surplus and wasted food into a valuable resource for food-insecure communities?

what we gathered from stakeholders
interviewee 1
"Donations and requests come in from all over: forms, emails, even texts. Sometimes I’m not sure what’s been seen or who’s handling what. It’s easy to miss something important!"

"I love what we’re doing, but it gets overwhelming when it’s just a couple of us. Some nights, I’m not sure we’ll get through everything."
