Turn surplus food and product into community good — protected, often tax-deductible, and a whole lot better than the dumpster. Powered by the Rock Solid Development & Training Foundation.
At the end of the night or the end of the month, surplus is a loss either way. Here's why donating beats tossing it — or trying to resell it.
Federal law (the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act) shields businesses from liability when they donate food in good faith to a nonprofit. The "what if someone gets sick" fear that stops people from giving is removed by donating.
Instead of eating the loss on spoilage, a donation to a nonprofit may qualify as a tax write-off. You turn waste into a benefit — confirm the specifics with your own accountant.
What would've been thrown away goes back into the community through the Foundation — to families, programs, and neighbors who need it. Same surplus, completely different ending.
Sign up your business with CCR — free, takes a few minutes.
Food, product, or goods you'd otherwise toss — set them aside instead.
The Foundation receives it, logs it, and gives you a donation receipt.
Your surplus reaches families and programs across the community.
Every Giveback business earns a mark on the Community Wall and recognition across CCR — because your neighbors should know who shows up for them.
A note on taxes & the law: The Giveback Program is run through the Rock Solid Development & Training Foundation, a nonprofit. The information here is general and is not legal or tax advice. Liability protections and deduction amounts depend on your business and how a donation is documented — please confirm the specifics for your situation with your own accountant or attorney.
Enroll your business in the Giveback Program and turn what you'd throw away into something the whole community feels.
