INTRODUCTION
Careit is a digital food donation marketplace that matches any type of business with extra edible
food to a nearby nonprofit. Nonprofits find donations in their area that match their food
requirements and set up a pick-up or drop-off with the donor and their staff or volunteers. Careit
was designed to empower small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations to build a robust resource
redistribution program for their specific community's needs. It was also designed to be an all-
inclusive data tracking tool to assist municipalities in establishing a comprehensive SB 1383-
compliant edible food waste prevention program.
HISTORY OF CAREIT
Based in Los Angeles, Careit Co is a woman-owned, social and environmentally proactive tech
company. It began in 2015 when founder Alyson Schill joined the Los Angeles Food Policy
Council and determined that a digital food donation marketplace was needed for upcoming
California State Senate Bill 1383. Careit Co was officially incorporated in Burbank, CA in 2021.
Since July of 2021, Careit has assisted over 2,500 edible food donors to connect with over 1000
local nonprofit food recovery organizations and service providers through its platform, and is
contracting with 61 municipalities to track their edible food recovery program for the Jan 1, 2022
launch of SB 1383. Over eight million lbs. of food from 18,600 donations have been recorded on
Careit to date. Edible food generator user types range from restaurants, grocery stores,
caterers, film sets, event planners, corporate offices, and hospitals. Food recovery
organizations range from food banks, food recovery service providers, faith-based institutions,
food pantries, women and youth services, recovery centers, and tiny nonprofits that feed people
on skid row.
A cohesive network of edible food generators, nonprofits, municipalities, and volunteers
collaborating efficiently is what drives Careit's core business model. Each entity plays an
important role in the network, but all have a different set of needs. That's why Careit built out
several different user types.

FOUR TYPES OF CAREIT USER ACCOUNTS
Free Account - Businesses and nonprofits can download the Careit app and login to post their
available food donations. Nonprofits reserve the donations and enter the final weights to close it
out. Businesses on the app can view a tiled photo list of all of their donations that can be
opened to show the name and contact info of the food recovery organization, list and category
of items donated, date of donation, quantity of items donated. Careit shows a running tally of the
donations' weight, which can be filtered by the past day, week, month, year, or all time. Careit's
software will auto-generate a written agreement between every food recovery organization and
edible food generator that posts and rescues food on the Careit app. The written agreement is
available for download on the user's profile through their online dashboard at
my.careitapp.com.
Careit has included all necessary SB 1383 record keeping requirements for edible food
generators, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services in their Free Account
features.
Food Mover Account -A food recovery nonprofit organization can utilize the Careit Food
Mover account type to appoint online relationships and donations between an edible food
generator and a food recovery organization. Using the account, an administrator can add a food
generator or organization, post a donation on behalf of a food generator, and automatically
assign the donation to a food recovery organization. If volunteers are available, they may self-
assign, or an administrator can assign a donation to a driver or partner organization associated
with the account.
Food Mover users can:
• Directly upload their contacts into the Careit database
• Post a donation on behalf of a donor
• Match donations to appropriate food recovery organizations for receipt
• Track all donations and food rescues associated with their organization
• Create schedules for volunteer or staff drivers for pick-ups
Careit also provides Food Movers with an optional safety training program, required for all
volunteers or agencies picking up food. This program is based upon guidelines issued by the
Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, but can be tailored to the individual
nonprofit's training needs. The Food Mover Account costs $250 per month.

Executive Account
The Executive account was designed to help municipalities to increase commercial edible food
generator access to food recovery organizations and food recovery services. Municipalities and
their partnering consultants will create a geographic-based food donation data tracking
dashboard. Using a list of coordinates or utilizing a boundary drawing tool, Careit will create a
digital geo-fence around a physical area and create parameters around the entire zone to view
and report all the donations originating from within. The Careit data dashboard is compatible
with many other data management tracking software.
Executive users can:
• Comply with SB 1383 Section 18995.2 requirements for an implementation record
• Provide a list of users from their zone to be uploaded into the Careit database
• Request Careit to create user accounts for each business or organization
• Generate and provide reports on a monthly basis and annually for inclusion in the
CalRecycle EAR
• View all donation information from entities that reside within the zone to determine SB
1383 compliance
• View aggregated information to evaluate program implementation progress
communitywide
The Careit team will provide technical assistance including help setting up an account with the
goal of creating a built-out database for each individual entity to successfully log data. The
Executive account cost is determined by the approximate number of essential accounts that the
municipality requests to track.
DIGITAL SPECIFICATIONS AND SECURITY

Available on iOS, Android and Desktop
Users may download Careit on the iOS or Android app store to use on their mobile or tablet
devices. Additionally, users may use a web browser to create an account and/or log in to view
account information or manage their subscription at my.careitapp.com.
Secure Hosting Through AWS
Careit is hosted through the internet's most secure platform, Amazon Web Services. AWS uses
Encryption Keys to remove the threat of data breaches, and protect the confidentiality and
integrity of the software and website's stored data. Security tasks are automated on AWS,
preventing any potential human error. All data flowing across the AWS global network that
interconnects their data centers and regions is automatically encrypted at the physical layer
before it leaves their secured facilities. Additional encryption layers exist as well; for example, all
VPC cross-region peering traffic, and customer or service-to-service TLS connections.
Secure Payments Through Stripe
Stripe is used as Careit's third-party payment gateway, to ensure that Careit stores no sensitive
or payment information for any of its users. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor
and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification
available in the payments industry. All card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256.
Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe's internal servers and
daemons can obtain plaintext card numbers but can request that cards are sent to a service
provider on a static allow list.
1 MUNICIPAL DATA TRACKING USING THE CAREIT APP
1.1 Municipal Food Recovery Program Management Interface
Through Careit's Executive User account, a city will be able to report and monitor data and track
the California state waste reduction compliance status of edible food generators and food
recovery organizations and services that reside within their geographic area.
1.2 Setting up an Executive Account
Step 1: CONTACT UPLOAD A municipality may choose to either have individual food recovery
organizations and edible food generators sign up for their own Careit account, or they can pre-
upload accounts into Careit. Upon receiving the final list of names, addresses, and contact
information including emails for edible food generators and food recovery organizations/services
that will be participating in recovery of food from Tier 1 and Tier 2 generators, Careit staff will
start the process of creating the municipal database:
1. Upload the contacts into the Careit database
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NO.P-23-613 ATTACHMENT"A"
Careit Company Page 5 of 12
12/19/2023
2. Create user accounts for each business or organization
3. Send emails to the primary contact at each entity inviting them to use the Careit app
Step 2: GEOFENCE Upon receiving the final list of geo-coordinates for the city in the form of a
11geojson" file, the Careit development team will create a digital geo-fence to build the municipal
Executive Account on Careit. This list can also be found using general database inquiries
available on the internet, if no file is available to the city.
Step 3: TRAINING The Careit team will provide training to city staff over the initial year of the
contract, and through any proceeding updates or feature additions to the software. An Executive
Account subscription will include four online city staff training workshops. It will also include
access to a training document, and any future videos created to explain how to use the
software.
1.3 Executive Account Team Members
Any designated Administrator of the Executive Account will be able to add multiple Executive
Account team members by the user's email address, with which the user may create a
password and log in to the Executive Dashboard. Team members will have permission to view
all records, log notes on EFG and FRO organizational profiles, and pull reports. An Executive
team may decide to include members from their partnering waste haulers or consultant firms.
1.4 The use of Careit for tracking reports
Careit designed compliance tracking features for Executive Account users that assist a
jurisdiction with reporting and the EFG and FRO inspection requirements specifically required
for Section 18994.2 Jurisdiction Annual Reporting. Cities will also be provided with an
Implementation Record tool to comply with Section 18995.2. Reports on Careit can be
customized and downloaded by the Executive Account users for inclusion in the Electronic
Annual Report (EAR). These reports can be downloaded as a CSV file. Careit staff will work
with City staff to ensure that the data will be aligned with Implementation Record requirements
laid out in SIB 1383 Section 18995.2. City staff, hired consultants, or partnering waste hauler
staff may log in to Careit to conduct on-site inspections or interviews, add tags or notes to an
organization, or they may view and pull reports from the following data:
• All edible food generators within the geo-fence
• A list of food recovery organizations and services who have established contracts or
written agreements with commercial edible food generators (Tier 1 and Tier 2) that
reside within the geo-fence
• All city-generated tags such as hauler, tier type, or nonprofit type for each organization
• All food donations posted on the Careit app for each entity that lies within the account's
geo-parameters
Once donation data has been populated into the Careit app, Executive Account users can pull a
report filtered by date range on each EFG to view information such as:
• All edible food that has been recovered in the City
• Dates donations were made
• Types of food donated
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NO.P-23-613 ATTACHMENT"A"

2 EFG/FRO DATA TRACKING USING THE CAREIT APP
2.1 EFG use of Careit
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NO.P-23-613 ATTACHMENT"A"
Careit Company Page 8 of 12
12/19/2023
By creating an expanded food recovery network, Careit assists municipalities in meeting their
requirements of Section 18991.1 which requires municipalities to increase commercial edible
food generator access to food recovery organizations and food recovery services.
Tier 1 commercial edible food generators are required to comply with the food recovery
requirements of Section 18991.3 by January 1, 2022, and Tier 2 commercial edible food
generators by January 1, 2024.
An EFG located within the municipality may post donations through the Careit app, including the
description of the edible food available for pick-up or delivery and the quantity and type of food.
Posted donations will be available for recovery by a participating food recovery organization or
service within the municipality. The EFG may also request their partnering food recovery Food
Mover Account subscriber to post a donation on behalf of them, and an FRO or FRS will
populate the data after each donation is complete. EFGs can then use their Careit account to
monitor how much food they have donated and the status of posted donations. Pounds of food
donated can be filtered and viewed by individual donations, food recovered in the last day,
week, month, year, and all time.
Additionally, through Careit, an EFG can cancel or edit donations, and will receive push
notifications that will update them on the status of transport for donation pick-ups. Once the first
donation between an EFG and an FRO is reserved on the platform, Careit will automatically
create a written agreement between the two entities that is signed and dated, and available for
download on both of the users' dashboards.
By participating in the municipal food rescue program, Careit will create an account for all EFGs.
After participating in the act of donating food on Careit, EFGs will be able to log in to their
account to view their list of food recovery organizations and services, auto-generated written
agreements, frequency, quantity, and types of food donated. Careit offers EFGs the free and
easy solution to comply with the following SB 1383 requirements:
A contract or written agreement with any or all of the following:
(1) Food recovery organizations or services that will collect their edible food for food
recovery.
• (2) Food recovery organizations that will accept the edible food that the commercial
edible food generator self-hauls to the food recovery organization for food recovery.
Keep a record that includes the following:
(1) A list of each food recovery service or organization that collects or receives its edible
food pursuant to a contract or written agreement established under Section 18991.3(b).
(2) A copy of contracts or written agreements between the commercial edible food
generator and a food recovery service or organization.
• (3) A record of the following for each food recovery organization or service that the
commercial edible food generator has a contract or written agreement with pursuant to
Section 18991.3(b):
o (A) The name, address and contact information of the service or organization.
o (B) The types of food that will be collected by or self-hauled to the service or
organization.

o (C) The established frequency that food will be collected or self-hauled.
o (D) The quantity of food collected or self-hauled to a service or organization for
food recovery. The quantity shall be measured in pounds recovered per month.
2.2 FRO/FRS use of Careit
An FRO/FRS within the municipality will be able to reserve a donation posted on the Careit app,
assign internal staff or volunteer drivers to pick up the donation, track the status of each
reservation, and monitor how much food they have rescued. FRO/FRSs will be prompted to
record the final weight of each completed donation through the Careit app. FRO's may also
reduce food waste and share any excess food in their inventory by posting donations and
redistributions to nearby nonprofits.
Additionally, an FRO/FRS can edit details of a posted donation, cancel a posted donation,
cancel a donation they had previously reserved, or reject a donation that has been assigned to
them. If a reserved donation is canceled or an assigned donation is rejected, an activity note will
be logged in the FRO's activity feed, and Careit will send a push-notification and activity note to
the original EFG donor. As FROs add staff and volunteer team members to their account, they
will be able to create assignments for pick-up, receive alerts about rejected assignments,
reassign reserved pick-ups, and track the status of each reserved donation in their organization.
By participating in the municipal food rescue program, all FRO/FRSs will automatically have a
Careit account with which they can log in to view their list of edible food generators, food
recovery organizations and services, auto-generated written agreements, frequency, quantity,
and types of food recovered and donated. Pounds of food recovered can be filtered and viewed
by individual donations, or by total food recovered in the last day, week, month, year, and all
time. Careit offers FRO/FRSs the free and easy solution for food recovery organization and food
recovery services to comply with the following SB 1383 requirements:
(1) A food recovery service shall maintain a record of:
(A) The name, address and contact information for each commercial edible food
generator that the service collects edible food from.
(B) The quantity in pounds of edible food collected from each commercial edible food
generator per month.
(C) The quantity in pounds of edible food transported to each food recovery organization
per month.
(D) The name, address and contact information for each food recovery organization that
the service transports edible food to for food recovery.
(2) A food recovery organization shall maintain a record of:
• (A) The name, address and contact information for each commercial edible
food generator that the organization receives edible food from.
(B) The quantity in pounds of edible food received from each commercial edible food
generator per month.
• (C) The name, address and contact information for each food recovery service that the
organization receives edible food from for food recovery.

2.3 Methodology for managing data
Using one - or a combination of the following methods - donation data, including weights can be
accumulated through the Careit database.
• An edible food generator may post all of their food donations through the Careit
app, and a food recovery organization will complete the data population after
each rescue is complete.
• A Food Recovery Service nonprofit may subscribe to the Food Mover Account
and post one-time or recurring donations on behalf of a donor and assign them to
a local Food Recovery Organization for pick-up or drop-off. The FRO will
complete the donation and enter total weights through their free Careit user
account.
• If an FRO currently does not have the technology or personnel to self-report
through Careit, they may be emailed to City staff or a partnering Food Mover
Account user to manually submit the info into the Careit database.
3 OUTREACH AND SUPPORT
3.1 Combined Marketing
Careit staff will partner with a city, consultant, or contracted waste hauler to provide the
necessary outreach and education content for marketing Careit and increasing participation.
This content can supplement welcome packets (for EFGs and FROs), email blasts, direct
mailings, targeted posts, social platforms, and tabling event materials, where applicable.
3.2 Testing and Demo Accounts
Edible food generators and food recovery organizations may use a Careit "demo login" to train
staff or familiarize themselves with the Careit app features. A"demo login" will be provided to
these users during the Careit Training workshop. Users may also choose to use their own
account to post and rescue "test" food donations, which can be deleted by the organization at a
later date.
3.3 Customer Support
In order to meet the growth in services provided across North America, Careit utilizes the
customer service application, Zoho Desk. Through Zoho Desk, Careit users with any questions
or service requests can submit tickets that are addressed directly by Careit staff or affiliated
customer support representatives. Users are also permitted to filter through instant solutions via
the Careit repository for commonly asked questions, stored in the help.careitapp.com page. We
will continue to build upon this repository as more questions are provided to us.
For Careit Executive users, customer support is provided directly from Careit staff. Executive
administrators are encouraged to email their Careit representative, or schedule meetings for
questions, issues, or to schedule training sessions with Careit Staff.

ROLLOUT TIMELINE
At Careit, we're very flexible with an operation and rollout timeline that best suits the city's
needs. We do request however, that Careit staff is allotted 10 days from the date of receiving
the municipality's list of EFGs and FRO/FRSs to fully upload all accounts and invite the users
into the Careit database. We require a one-day turnaround time for creating the geo-fence of an
Executive Account and inviting the Administrative user by email.
COSTS AND FEES
SET UP FEES
There will be a one-time set up fee charged for uploading EFG and FRO/FRS users, and to set
up the geo-fence. Because of the storage space it takes to set up an Executive Account, Careit
requests a minimum contract length of 1 year.
The one-time set-up fee is:
$2,000
YEARLY FEES
Careit fees are structured to allow for varied edible food recovery programs, since no two
municipalities are alike.
A municipality might choose to track their program participant's data and allow each EFG or
FRO entity to decide if they would like to upgrade their own subscription for access to
downloadable files. In this situation, an Executive Account would be best.
Number of EFG and FRO Careit Annual Cost Number of EFG and FRO Careit Annual Cost
< 50 $2,800 800-2,000 $18,000
50-100 $5,000 2,000-5,000 $21,000
