## About Careit

Careit provides software that makes food donation simple, trackable, and impactful. Our platform serves:

- **Food Businesses**: Restaurants, grocery stores, caterers, venues, and food service teams with surplus food
- **Nonprofits**: Food banks, pantries, shelters, and community organizations
- **Food Recovery Agencies / Food Movers**: Operators coordinating routes, drivers, schedules, and reporting
- **Municipalities**: Cities and counties implementing food recovery programs
- **Corporations**: Enterprise-level food donation programs with multi-location support

## Homepage Positioning

Careit's homepage presents the platform as one connected operating system for food recovery. It highlights the ability to post donations, coordinate pickups, keep clean records, save money, measure impact, and support compliance from one place.

The primary homepage pathways are:
- Corporations: multi-location donation tracking, partner management, ESG reporting, and compliance records
- Food Businesses: restaurants, grocers, caterers, venues, and food service teams posting surplus food, matching with nearby nonprofits, and keeping donation records
- Nonprofits: food banks, shelters, and community groups finding, claiming, and reporting on local donations
- Food Recovery Agencies / Food Movers: teams managing routes, drivers, schedules, donors, and reporting
- Municipalities: cities, counties, and jurisdictions implementing food recovery programs and tracking area-wide results

Homepage impact stats currently emphasize 389M+ lbs tracked through Careit, including direct marketplace rescues and partner-added recovery data; 200,000+ successful marketplace donations; 101M+ lbs moved directly through the Careit marketplace; 324M+ meals served; 849K+ tons CO2e avoided; 24.4B+ gallons of water saved; and 650+ cities and towns with completed donations. The Impact page includes rounded marketplace food-category weights, led by produce, baked goods, non-perishable food, prepared food, dairy, meat, beverages, and frozen food. Careit supports food recovery programs across all 50 US states and Canada. The Impact page includes an interactive Impact Calculator with Food, Meals, CO2e, and Water modes, a location rollup calculator, a Waste Diversion Savings Estimator using editable California facility-fee and hauling add-on assumptions, and methodology notes explaining Careit's blended ReFED-derived public impact factors.

The How It Works page explains the Careit ecosystem across food donors, nonprofits, food movers, corporations, municipalities, and community impact. It shows the core marketplace flow from posting food to matching, claiming, pickup completion, records, and reporting, plus larger program modes for recurring pickups, food runs, corporate programs, and municipal food recovery.
