Still dreaming of translating foodsharing.de. Interested to try out a basic software. Already thinking about building an app for themselves.

We aim to collaborate with organizations based on foodsharing.de's experience. The project is fully non-commercial. All related costs are held by members who manage it.
Started: July 2015
Community:
- ~2500 in Moscow (separate group in VK.com - https://vk.com/foodsharing_msk),
- ~3700 in St. Petersburg (separate group in VK.com - https://vk.com/foodsharing_spb)
Active members: several hundred
Collaborate with: ~30 stores, cafes, etc. Usually we have several pick-ups every day, apart from regular activities we have been involved in some events like cooking the world biggest Greek salad in Moscow on the Red Square
Totally saved: over 28 000 kg of food.
How does it work? Members who want to become active have to sign up, take a quiz and wait for the facilitator’s invitation to join the team. 1 trial pick-up is mandatory.
Tools: free tools - group chat on VK.com, Google Sheets, etc.
Difficulties: getting more stores, cafes, etc. to cooperate. Getting more active volunteers to establish contacts with organizations and develop the project. Current legislation does not include foodsharing possibilities so in some cases stores are required to dispose leftovers.
