 ABSTRACT
This project is used to manage wastage foods in a useful
way. Every day the people are wasting lots of foods.
So we have to reduce that food wastage
problem through online. If anyone has wastage foods
they are entering their food quantity details and their address
in that application and then the admin maintain the details of
food donator. The donator can create the account and
whenever they are having wastage food they can
login and give request to the admin. And the admin
also maintain the buyer (orphanage ,poor people,..)
details too. After the admin view the donator request
and give the alert message like time to come and collect
the food. And the admin collect foods
from donator through their nearby agent then provide
to nearest orphanages or poor people. After receiving
the food from the agent by admin and give alert
message to that donator. If the donator needs any
detail about the orphanage with helping thought
they can give request to the admin and collect
the orphanage details. This project is food redistribution
is an enormously successful social innovation that
tackles food waste and food poverty. The user’s details
are maintained confidential because it maintains a
separate account for each user.

INTRODUCTION:
The sharp increase in the amount of wastage
in terms of food, clothes, books, etc. makes the need
for charity in terms of donation. This paper presents
‘Helping Hands’, a new internet-based application that
provides a platform for donating old stuff and leftover
food to all needy people/organizations. It provides
information about the motivation to come up with such
an application, thereby describing the existing donation
system and how the proposed product works for the
betterment of society. The product is shown to be an
effective means of donating things to organizations,
etc. over the internet. It shows the potential for
avoiding the wastage of food, clothes, books and the
other stuff.
In highly populated countries like India, food
wastage is a disturbing issue. The streets, garbage bins
and landfills have ample proof to prove it. Marriages,
canteens, restaurants, social and family get-togethers
and functions expel out so much food. Food wastage is
not only an indication of hunger or pollution, but also
of many economic problems. The high standard of
living has resulted in the wastage of food, clothes, etc.
because of quick changes inhabits and lifestyle. Instead
of wasting these things we can put them in use by
donating them to various organizations such as
orphanages, old age homes, etc. The product is an
internet-based android application that basically aims
at charity through donations.
Most people don't realize how much food
they throw away every day — from uneaten leftovers
to spoiled produce. About 95 percent of the food we
throw away ends up in landfills or combustion facilities.
In 2013, we disposed more than 35 million tons of food
waste. Many people wish to donate things to needy
organizations. Also, many organizations wish to ask for
various things required by them such as clothes, food
grains, books, utensils, etc., but there is no source
available through which they can satisfy their
requirements. Thereby, an Android application has
been developed through which people can donate
items as per their capacity and the application also
allows organizations to put up their requests, i.e. items
required by them, if any. The majority of the
population today uses smart phones with active
internet connection, which is the basic requirement for
this product to function properly.

EXISTING SYSTEM & PROPOSED

SYSTEM:

EXISTING SYSTEM:
In existing system if anyone have extra
food because of any function or in their home it will be
become waste because instantly there is no way to
share with anyone if they are having lots of food. Even
if they want to give that extra food to any orphanage or
poor people they don’t have time or don’t have an idea
about that. So that we have create a application for
sponsor that extra food to poor people or nearby
orphanage.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
In proposed system we are reduce that
food wastage using that application. This project is food
redistribution is an enormously successful social
innovation that tackles food waste and food poverty.
The admin collect foods from donator through their
nearby agent then provide to nearest orphanages or
poor people. After receiving the food from the agent by
admin and give alert message to that donator through
this way we can reduce food wastage problem.
The proposed application is android-based,
developed on Android Studio using java and xml
requires internet connection and will provide a
platform for donors and seekers after they successfully
register into the system. If a user wishes to donate
something, he/she can send a message in application
This message will be shown as notification in
donations tab to other users. This message will be
stored in backend in the database. Once a notification
is sent, the orphanages who wish to claim the
donations can reply to the donor and contact him/her.
The user interface of this system will be simple and
user-friendly, and the targeted system is android. At
present, we are aiming to avoid the major wastage that
usually happens in India and that is food stuffs. We are
looking and expecting to update and refine the same
which will add up to efficiency and utility of the
application including books, stationary, clothes, etc.
However, the application is limited Android Smart
phones with Gingerbread OS and higher versions. Also,
the application will be beneficial if donors and seekers
are located near each other. The use case diagram
shown above describes 3 actors – Donor, Receiver and
Admin.
The Donor performs operations like Registration
and Login into the System. He can also put up items for
donation and view all donation requests (items
required by organizations). The Admin and Donor both
can view the Receiver’s location. The Admin can also
monitor and update the database. The Admin and
Receiver both can view the Donor’s location. The
Receiver can also perform operations like requesting
for items, viewing requested items and claiming
donations.

MODULES:

Login &Registration:
This phase involves login & registration for
both the guest and Agent. The user’s details are
maintained confidential by maintaining separate
account for each user. At the same time only, the agent
can view the details of the registered guest.
Notification:
This phase involves the notification to the
agent by the guest. The user will send the notification
which contains the location of food available via
notification bar. This is achieved by using notification
button.
Admin Module:
In admin module, the administrator
maintains the agent details as well as the donator
details. The administrator collects the food from the
agent. The administrator gives the orphanage details
directly to the donator.
Donator Module:
In donator module, the donator gives
the wastage of food to the orphanage. The donator
gives the request to the admin for the purpose of to
collect the wastage food. The donator views the
orphanage details and agent details.
Receiver Module:
In Agent module, the Receiver
maintain the orphanage details. It can also maintain
the donator details. The Receiver give the request to
the admin for collect the food from the donator. After
collect the food the agent gives the alert message for
the donator.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed application shall
reduce food wastage and also fulfill other requirements
like clothes, books, utensils, etc. of needy
organizations.
As mentioned above in the description
there is a lot of food wastage that occurs daily at
restaurants and cafes. Instead of throwing away the
same as trash (which usually is the scenario), it can be
used to feed the homeless. Also, since the pickup is
arranged for by the enterprise, the restaurants/cafes
need not worry about it. Benefiters will be both the
restaurants/cafés (reducing the carbon footprint and
wastage), and the needy In future work, there was no
standard food information system on food packages
that gives the user the information of both the name of
the food, as well as its expiry date. The viable
improvement would be get the food name from the
product bar code and read the expiry date using OCR
tools. However, the level of ease of using this option is
only slightly greater than using the manual option of
filling the food information.
Some companies have started trials with using
QR code on their food packages to provide detailed
information. Not withstanding, there is still lot of
hurdles to pass for it to become a standard. But for the
meantime, this application presents a viable and
effective solution.
