Fruitful

Project Description

In this time of uncertainty, Fruitful helps people find crucial food for their families and allows them to do so around their busy schedules. We put food pantry selection and availability at their fingertips, so they can plan healthier, complete meals. Not only does our food package reservation system help families plan their meals, but it also allows food pantries prepare inventory and staffing to efficiently distribute their wares.

Problem

During our process we figured that we wanted to focus on Adults that need to provide specific food options for their family during their busy lives. How might we find a way to give families choices when it comes to receiving food from food pantries?

Insights

Based on our research we learned that this needs to be family focused and wanting to feed families healthy options and to fight the stigma of food pantries. We created something that can feel like everyone uses this application. We wanted everything to be easy to navigate through for adults that are busy with their everyday life. Users are able to save food pantries so that the future reservations can be easier to set up.

Solutions

We developed an application for users to see what is on the shelves at food banks and food pantries right at their fingertips. On the app, they can see what food pantries are near their location, which then they can select and reserve a time to come in and grab what they need to continue their every day lives. Users can look what is near them to find food for themselves and their family.
