Success with Careit

Navigating compliance with California’s SB 1383 can seem daunting for businesses, but with Careit, several have turned this challenge into an opportunity for growth, community engagement, and environmental stewardship. Here are some inspiring stories where businesses not only complied but thrived.

Edgar and the Sixty Stores: Streamlining Compliance Across a Chain

Edgar, the sustainability representative for a large California-based Hispanic foods grocery chain, faced the challenge of managing surplus from sixty stores. This included fresh produce, canned goods, frozen items, dairy, and bakery goods. Here’s how Careit transformed their compliance journey:

• Simplified Donation Coordination: Each store has an arranged partner, found either through Careit or existing relationships. Using Careit, store managers post donation records, making it easy for partners to add weights after donations, streamlining the process.
• Efficient Record-Keeping: During city inspections, store managers can quickly pull up these reports on Careit to prove compliance, showcasing their commitment to donating to maximum capacity.
• Centralized Data Management: At month’s end, Edgar logs into his corporate dashboard on Careit, viewing and downloading all donation data for sustainability impact assessment. What would have been hours of manual work is now done in minutes, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

Mall Food Court: Turning Surplus into Community Support

A California mall’s food court vendors found themselves with surplus prepared food daily, facing the risk of noncompliance with SB 1383 and potential fines. Careit offered a solution:

• Effective Donation System: Careit connected the mall’s vendors with a nonprofit partner, ensuring that surplus food is collected nightly about 30 minutes before closing, transforming potential waste into community support.
• Compliance and Community Impact: This initiative not only helps the mall avoid fines but also showcases its commitment to sustainability, enhancing its reputation and contributing to reducing food insecurity.
