Our Mission

Ending Food Waste, Fighting Hunger

Careit was founded with a simple belief: no food should go to waste while people go hungry. We build technology that connects businesses with surplus food to nonprofits serving communities in need.
Our Mission

Connecting Surplus Food with Communities in Need

Careit is food donation technology empowering local nonprofits and communities with equal access to surplus resources. We make it easy for businesses to donate food while providing the data and tools they need to track their impact.

Our platform creates a seamless marketplace that connects food donors with hunger-relief organizations—turning potential waste into meals for families, reducing environmental impact, and strengthening local communities.

Our Core Values

Sustainable Business

Meet regulatory requirements like SB 1383 while building a more sustainable, responsible business.

Strengthen Communities
