Many people are experiencing difficulties due to the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, especially the lower-middle-class people who are economically down.  In conditions like nowsdays, it turns out that there are also many people who want to give alms and help, but they do not know how to distribute. Seeing this condition, a number of residents of Banyumas Regency, Central Java, who are members of the Banyumas Forum (Banyumas Figure Ideas) created and launched an online alms application called "iWarga '' some time ago. This app makes it easy for people to give and get excessive food online.

According to Ahmad Ma'mum, a volunteer of "iWarga", this online alms application becomes a connector, an intermediary or media that connects the alms giver and the recipient. So, the food or used goods meet directly between the giver and the recipient through their chatting. He further explained that the excessive food to be donated is not leftover food that has gone stale. It can also be groceries or clothes and items that are not used.

Currently, according to Ahmad Ma'mun, the iWarga application cannot gather people in one place, but it only connects through the application. He hopes that in the future, there will be no more stories in an area where people are still hungry. He will also encourage hotels, restaurants, and bakeries to donate excessive food. Meanwhile, Regent of Banyumas, Achmad Husein appreciated this new application, iWarga. If there are residents who have excessive food, used goods and clothing or household appliances, even though they want to donate to other people, but don't know to whom, they can use this application free of charge.
