Introduction

Built during HackCMU 2022, FeedCMU is a community-focused project designed to minimize food waste on the CMU campus. The idea is simple: connect students with free leftover food from various campus events, making sure surplus food goes to good use. It's a win-win situation—less food waste and more students getting easy access to free meals. Our user-friendly platform sends out alerts to let students know when and where free food is available, helping them grab it before it's gone to waste.
