Abstract: The present invention relates to FoodPulse: Real-Time Hunger Management System, a digital platform designed to reduce food wastage and improve food distribution by connecting food donors, NGOs, and volunteers through a centralized network.

The invention incorporates a donation tracking mechanism that records donation details, distribution status, and beneficiary locations in real time. A unique 24-hour distribution monitoring feature maintains records of recently served locations and assists NGOs and volunteers in preventing duplicate food allocation within a predefined period. The system further prioritizes underserved locations to ensure fair and efficient distribution of available food resources. Additionally, the invention includes NGO verification, volunteer management, notification services, reporting and analytics, and a reward point mechanism that encourages donor participation. By improving transparency, coordination, and resource utilization, the proposed system minimizes food wastage, enhances food accessibility for vulnerable communities, and contributes to effective hunger management through technology-enabled food redistribution.
