Farmers markets often have produce that isn’t sellable due to visual imperfections or overproduction, but there is an absence of effective communication between vendors and nonprofit organizations to donate food, contributing to food waste.
A vendor might have surplus food at the end of the market day but with NextBite, they can alert volunteers that the donation is available for pickup.
Post the details of the food to be donated, including number of boxes, weight and expiration of pickup.
Hand the donation over to a volunteer within the time specified so they can redirect it to a non-profit.
Recieve notification upon successful delivery so you know the volunteer donated your food to those in need.
View your past donations to track your own impact on your local community.
Volunteers will be alerted by NextBite when new donations are available for pickup. This assures volunteers that they won’t come back empty-handed to make their trips be worthwhile.
View nearby markets to see what food vendors have ready to be claimed and redirected to non-profits.
