Abstract: The increasing levels of food waste alongside the persistent issue of hunger highlight the urgent need for efficient food redistribution mechanisms. However, conventional food donation processes often rely on manual coordination, leading to delays, miscommunication, and significant food spoilage before it reaches those in need. This paper presents a Web-Based Food Donation and Redistribution System designed to bridge the gap between food donors and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) through a centralized digital platform. The proposed system enables donors such as restaurants, event organizers, and households to register surplus food in real time, while nearby NGOs can view, accept, and coordinate collection efficiently. Location-based tracking and automated notification features ensure timely communication and reduce response delays. The system leverages modern web technologies and database management to maintain secure records of donations, users, and distribution activities. An administrative module oversees verification and system monitoring to ensure reliability and transparency. The system is evaluated using simulated operational scenarios, demonstrating improvements in coordination speed, reduction in food wastage, and increased distribution efficiency compared to traditional manual donation methods. The proposed platform offers a scalable and practical solution for addressing food waste while supporting hunger relief initiatives.
