This project is a web-based application built on the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js).
The platform aims to connect donors with local organizations to facilitate the donation of excess food to those in need.
Donors can list the quantity and type of food available, while organizations can receive donations based on availability.
2. Organization Registration and Request Management: Organizations can register, view donation listings, and request items based on availability.
3. Request Management: Donors can accept or decline requests made by organizations.
4. Notification System: Donors receive notifications about accepted or declined requests, along with details on pickup arrangements if the donation is accepted.
5. User Dashboard: Separate dashboards for donors and organizations to view their donation history and request status.
1. Real-Time Notifications: Implement real-time updates using WebSockets to notify users instantly about request status.
2. Chat Functionality: Allow donors and organizations to communicate through a built-in messaging system.
3. Analytics Dashboard: Provide a summary of total donations, active organizations, and overall impact metrics.
4. Rating and Review System: Enable donors and organizations to provide feedback on their interactions.
5. Geolocation Support: Include a map to show nearby organizations for more accessible drop-off or pickup points.
