Concept
Fridgee is a mobile app designed to provide portals to community fridge donors, donees, and volunteers so that they can get and provide accurate information about the fridges.
Problem
Food security is a problem for many people the world over, and it has led some in the US to seek out less conventional means of acquiring food. Some people in a growing number of cities have taken it upon themselves to create community fridges. These are refrigerators set up outdoors in a community, allowing donors to add food and donees to take food. However, since these are guerilla, DIY operations, the item tracking is lacking.
Solution
Our goal was to design a product that could give donors, donees, and volunteers a way to contribute to the proper maintenance of these community fridges and their inventories.
