    / FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    HungreeApp is designed for any adult to use. No kidding. No complicated onboarding. No fees to use the basic features of the platform. Just download, create an account, and simply:

    • List a meal as the Provider OR
    • Request and collect a meal as the Hungree.

    No, you do not! We have a tab for switching modes. In the application, located in your profile tab is a simple button that allows you to switch modes from provider to hungree without the need to setup two accounts. One day receive a meal. Another day share one. Circle of life.

    You receive reward points for using the HungreeApp, whether as the provider or the Hungree. We are working really hard to engage major institutional partners to allow redemption of your points for their products and/or services. Imagine using your points for discounts off items like coffee, groceries, your next ride share, etc.

    There is nothing illegal about giving or receiving a free meal. In fact, much of the stigma and hesitation around food donation stems from concerns about potential liability arising from food safety claims. Yet food is donated and shared every day. That is why we emphasize two key pledges: be mindful of what you consume, and maintain proper hygiene and safety standards when listing food. Many establishments, including restaurants, would gladly donate surplus food if they could do so safely while reducing landfill waste and disposal costs. Imagine if there were a way to digitally sign waivers within an application, securely documented between a provider and a recipient, with clear donation records to support transparency and accountability 🤔 just imagine …ehh??

    Loving the energy, thank you so much for the interest. Yes! We could use your help. Please send an email to info@thehungreeapp.com or investors@thehungreeapp.com stating your clear subject and message and we’ll get back to you ASAP.
