Recovered food is aggregated, temporarily stored when necessary, and delivered to a network of nonprofit partners, including food pantries, shelters, after-school programs, and community distribution sites. FoodCycle emphasizes equitable access by prioritizing service in communities most impacted by food insecurity.To support efficient operations and accountability, FoodCycle utilizes the Careit app to coordinate logistics, track food donations, and document recovery and distribution activity.
