Last week's Open Source Friday featured Ryan McHenry from Sharing Excess project. Sharing Access, a non profit based in West Philly, and working on converting the surplus (5 million pounds) food that is often thrown out or goes to waste in one way or another and delivering that to local nonprofits and food pantries.

They are approaching this problem in a unique way using open source using React to managing the operations in a PWA.
