Publisher Description
Careit is a food donation marketplace that matches any organization with extra edible food to a nearby nonprofit. Nonprofits find donations in their area that match their food requirements and set up a pickup or drop off with the donor. All donation details are saved for easy record keeping.
Food donation has never been easier! Whether you’re a business, nonprofit, or municipality, Careit can help you keep our communities fed and our environment greener.
LESS HUNGER
1 in 8 Americans don’t know where they are going to get their next meal. Careit connects the nation's most inclusive network of nonprofits and food generators, so more food is donated to feed our most vulnerable.
LESS GREENHOUSE GAS
Did you know Americans waste over 30% of the food they grow? Food in landfills breaks down into the potent greenhouse gas, methane. Not to mention the wasted water, land, transportation, and labor that results from wasted food.
MORE SAVINGS
Donated food can be used for tax deductions. It saves the amount of money spent on waste hauling. And in certain areas, it ensures compliance with new environmental policies that could result in fines.
WHY USE AN APP?
- Donation data helps businesses keep track of their charitable tax deductions and is needed to comply with CA SB 1383 reporting requirements
- Manage all staff and volunteers rescuing and posting donations under one organization-wide account
- Create new donor-nonprofit relationships

WHO CAN USE CAREIT?
In the United States, any registered 501C3 nonprofit can create a nonprofit account to find, rescue, and donate food. Any business with an EIN number can sign up to donate food. Any team member of a nonprofit or organization can create an account with an invite activation. And any municipality or corporation with multiple subsidiaries using Careit can contact us at careitapp.com for information about donation record keeping subscription services.
IS IT LEGAL TO DONATE FOOD?
In the United States the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act was created to encourage the donation of food and grocery products to qualified nonprofit organizations and provides liability protection to food donors.

WILL MY FOOD BE PICKED UP?
When it comes to food donation, the hardest problem is transportation. If a nonprofit has a robust volunteer and staff program, they will most likely be able to pick up your food. Most agencies that feed the hungry are very short handed though. Careit recommends choosing to deliver your food donations whenever possible. When you deliver your food to an agency, not only do you reduce wait time for feeding safe and healthy food to those in need, you also directly volunteer your time and resources to assist your community.
HOW CAN I BE SURE MY FOOD IS SAFE TO EAT?
Prepared foods and meals must be donated only by permitted restaurants, hotels, food processing facilities, food distributors, or catered events.
Donated foods are limited to foods or food portions which have not been previously served to a consumer.
For more information, research your local Health Department's food donation safety guidelines.
