School Food Donation Programs – Software Tools and Programs

No child should go hungry, and surplus school food donation programs can help ensure that all resources are not wasted. However, with strict regulations on who can access school food donations and health department policies, navigating a successful food donation program can be difficult.

A New Software to Solve School Food Donation Programs

Careit Express provides a mobile app and website software solution for schools to post available food donations. A local 501c3 organization collaborates with the school to recruit students and their families to join a platform that alerts families of available surplus food. Individuals from each family can reserve these donations for pickup. Donations are tracked, keeping with school record-keeping compliance mandates.

Benefits of the program:

• Anonymity: Students cannot see donations reserved by other families.
• Required online training protocol: Students and their family members who join the platform must undergo a safety and procedure training program before they can start reserving donations.
• Liability protection: Utilizing the software, nonprofit partners recruit these students and families as volunteers of their food recovery program, offering federal liability protections under their program.
