From Waste to Worth
Meet Carlos, a 34-year-old community volunteer in Dallas, Texas, with a strong desire to tackle food waste. Carlos had long felt a personal mission to make a difference by connecting surplus food from local businesses with families who needed it most. Despite his commitment, coordinating these donations was a logistical headache—no streamlined system, no easy way to organize pickups, and the constant challenge of ensuring food stayed fresh. Carlos was excited to try the Drive Hunger Away prototype, a mobile platform in its testing phase, promising to bridge donors and beneficiaries in real-time. With features designed to streamline and amplify his efforts, Carlos felt hopeful that the app could simplify his work and expand his impact.

The Challenge
Carlos faced a maze of barriers in his mission to repurpose food for those in need. Without a cohesive system, coordinating food pickups often fell apart, and with few volunteers to assist, Carlos frequently scrambled to reach food before it spoiled. Additionally, the lack of visibility into donation availability made it difficult to plan pickups, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities to make an impact.
The Impact
Carlos was part of a small group chosen to test the Drive Hunger Away prototype. Right from the start, he noticed the difference: the app’s Real-Time Food Matching System simplified scheduling pickups, showing him nearby food listings and allowing him to organize his time efficiently. The Volunteer Management Module enabled Carlos to plan pickups alongside other volunteers, creating a collaborative community. Even in its early stages, the app offered a vision of how technology could make food donations smoother and more impactful.
