Replate

Understand California's SB 1383 through this insightful and practical Modern Farmer article featuring our COO, Katlyn Marchini. "Passed in 2016, SB 1383 is California legislation that reduces emissions by diverting organic waste from landfills. It included a component that requires food recovery from food generators of a certain size—restaurants that seat more than 250, grocery stores, hospitals, schools, and more." https://lnkd.in/dr_CwshT #california #sb1383

What is Replate’s PoP and why should your nonprofit want to join? Replate is a nation-wide food rescue non profit that began in California back in 2016.? As all food rescue, food bank, and direct distribution non profits can attest, there’s a lot more to food rescue and repurposing than driving a meal or bag of groceries from one side of the city to another. During our time in the food rescue space, we have worked with plenty of 3rd party logistics partners to get food to our nonprofit recipients.? But in 2023 - we launched the Partner Organization Program (PoP) - here at Replate.? We realized if we were going to pay for the labor of picking up donations, why pay a huge for-profit corporation when we could instead, pay the very same local organizations receiving our donors' food? Since then, PoP has grown exponentially, more than quadrupling the number of pickups (and profit-share payouts!) performed per month by Partner Orgs in 2024 than we did in 2023!? And now that we’ve refined our processes for the program, created new tools for our non profit partners to use, witnessed success from both our partners and donors—who appreciate the consistency and rapport of having the same rescuer each day—we are ready to expand the program to communities nationwide? - Does your organization rescue food, or have the bandwidth to start picking up food at nearby donors? - Could your organization use additional food donations for your distribution programs? - How about a bit of unrestricted cash each month? - Do you want to get plugged into a nationwide network of fellow non profits?? - Are you interested in building community, and sharing resources and support in the food rescue space? If any or all those things sound like you or your org - we want to hear from you!?? You can click below to send us a bit of info about your group.? One of our team will reach out to connect on how we can help you get more (food, money, support!) for your cause. Intake Form for interested Orgs who want to learn more: https://lnkd.in/efE28mYN

?? ?? Did you know that nearly 400,000 residents in Los Angeles County live in 'food deserts'? It's not just LA, either. All across California, many people find themselves living at a significant distance from the nearest grocery store - limiting their access to healthy and nutritious food. ?? Want to learn more?

?? Ok - Corporate Tank reporting back to gather troops - who do I know in NYC from my beloved #greenbannergang ? ?? I'm hiring a 1099 Contracted driver to help us move surplus food from donors to nonprofit distributors in the Manhattan area. I currently have pickups 5 days per week and right now, if this person wanted to perform all pickups for us, we'd be paying out $650/wk. But if you have FT availability, we can try to fill out the schedule even more. I require 2 minimum stops per day to deploy a driver, so Monday both stops are a must, but other days, the ones with the * are the critical pickups I need a consistent driver for, so availability for those particular windows is required. The time range is the "service window" the donor will be expecting a driver to arrive within, not the time spent at those locations. Most pickups take about 15 min once you're on site. (That's why I pay per stop, and not by the hour.) Right now the schedule looks like... ?? Monday: *Donor 1 - 1:30pm - 3:30pm Donor 2 - 2:30pm - 4:30pm ?? Tuesday: Donor 1 - 9:00am - 12:00pm * Donor 2 - 11:00am - 1:00pm * Donor 3 - 1:30pm - 3:30pm * Donor 4 - 2:00pm - 4:00pm Donor 5 - 2:30pm - 4:30pm ?? Wednesday: Donor 1 - 9:00am - 12:00pm *Donor 2 - 1:30pm - 3:30pm *Donor 3 - 2:00pm - 4:00pm Donor 4 - 2:30pm - 4:30pm ?? Thursday: Donor 1 - 9:00am - 12:00pm * Donor 2 - 11:00am - 1:00pm * Donor 3 - 1:30pm - 3:30pm * Donor 4 - 2:00pm - 4:00pm Donor 5 - 2:00pm - 4:00pm Donor 6 - 2:30pm - 4:30pm ?? Friday: Donor 1 - 9:00am - 11:00am Donor 2 - 9:00am - 12:00pm *Donor 3 - 11:00am - 1:00pm Donor 4 - 11:30 - 1:30pm ?? ??

?? Replate Brought our Farm Bill priorities to Capitol Hill! ?? Last week, Replate joined the Zero Food Waste Coalition on Capitol Hill to continue urging Congress to prioritize addressing food loss and waste in the 2024 Farm Bill. Now that we’re seeing movement on the Farm Bill, it's more crucial than ever that we continue advocating for policies that reduce food loss and waste. We were thrilled to see that the Senate’s proposal includes many of the federal food waste priorities recommended by ZFWC—and urge Congress to pass this bipartisan bill.? ??To see our full list of Farm Bill priorities, click here ??https://shorturl.at/xfZfk ??
