This is the source code for a website I created for a non-profit program aimed at helping the homeless in a practical, safe, and meaningful way. In 2007, the project was run in 4 cities (including New York and Chicago), had national media coverage, and helped collect 1700 gifts from 450 donors that were distributed to almost 1000 homeless individuals. In 2008, the number of participating cities is already set to double, with BIG plans to grow further in the future.
Unfortunately, I have VERY limited time to work on it anymore, and am actively looking for volunteers to help improve and support the website. It is built with Java/J2EE/GWT, has a MySQL backend, hosted on Linux with a tomcat server. If that sounds like something you'd like to get involved in, please do! There is lots of room to do cool and interesting things with it still (could even use a rewrite if starting fresh appeals to you).
