Full Plate Benefits Your Business
- Full Plate reduces dumping fees associated with product that can no longer be sold, including: off-spec, mislabeled, excess inventory, R&D, aged inventory, and product that requires reworking or brand concealment prior to food bank distribution.
- Regularly donating product generates good will by demonstrating your company’s concern for your community.
- The program offers reliable and prompt pick-ups.
- Customized and professional receipting allows you to track your donated inventory, and earn tax deductions for your business.
Food Safety is a Top Priority
- Food is transported in temperature-controlled vehicles and handled by a driver who has received food safety training.
- The federal Good Samaritan Law protects donors from liability when making donations for charitable purpose.
