A new crowdfunding application, StreetChange, provides homeless people in the streets of Philadelphia with a bluetooth beacon which allows app users to donate basic necessities to them. Those with the bluetooth beacons make a wish list of basic necessities, and as soon as a StreetChange client opens a new wish list those app users’ in their vicinity will get a notification so that they can make their donation.
