OLIO is a free app tackling the problem of good food being thrown away by connecting neighbors with each other and with local shops and cafes so that excess food can be shared, not thrown away.
Donating users (consumers, OLIO volunteers or independent businesses) simply snap a picture of their surplus food and add it to OLIO, where neighbors receive customized alerts and can request anything that takes their fancy. Pick-up then takes place at the home/store, an OLIO Drop Box, or another agreed location.
