Solution

The HopHopFood app allows socially responsible businesses to make their unsold items available to people experiencing mild food insecurity. These individuals use an access code to reserve the products, then go directly to the stores to pick up these free food baskets. Recipients remain self-reliant, and products that are usually excluded from standard food aid programs (meat, fish, etc.) can finally be saved from waste and given to people in need. 

The retailer, for their part, can claim a tax deduction of 60% of the products’ value (excluding tax) thanks to the in-kind donation certificate provided by HopHopFood.
