Want to donate extra food from your restaurant? There's an app for that!
A Chicago-based tech incubator called Blue 1647, launched a website and mobile app allowing restaurants to call for pickup of leftover food for distribution to homeless shelters. A great idea that needs to spread as there is a tremendous amount of good food wasted that can now be easily routed to the homeless.
This is truly one of those "Why didn't I think of that!" ideas.

Easy- At the tap of a button, you reserve a convenient time to have your goods picked up.
Reliable- When you request a pickup, we'll find a driver during the time you select. We'll text you when your pickup arrives. You can message or call if you need to.
Convenient- You don't need cash when you use LeftForGood. We'll also e-mail you a receipt.
