[Talk-GB] UK Food Banks

[Jez Nicholson]

How do people feel about ref:GB:givefood to link back to Jason's datafeed
or site? e.g. from https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8429813322
ref:GB:givefood=the-whitehawk An app could connect to
https://www.givefood.org.uk/api/2/foodbank/{ref:GB:givefood}/ or
https://www.givefood.org.uk/needs/at/{ref:GB:givefood}/ ?

An alternative is to create Wikidata records then get givefood's id/slug
onto there.
