Grocery and Convenience Stores

FDC provides nonprofit coordination, frequent pickups, department-level procedures, training, SKU-level tracking, valuations, documentation, and enterprise reporting. 

 

Limited storage and fast-moving fresh food make reliable pickups essential. 

 

FDC creates simple store-level procedures and coordinates frequent nonprofit pickups for sandwiches, bakery products, grab-and-go foods, prepared items, and other eligible surplus. 

A Complete Food Donation Solution for Grocery & C-Stores

Daily Donation Pickups 

Frequent pickups help protect valuable backroom, cooler, and freezer space while making donation part of the store’s normal operating routine. 

 

Enhanced Tax Benefit Support 

FDC captures the information needed to calculate eligible enhanced tax benefits and provides the documentation necessary to support the donor’s tax filing. 

 

Complete Donation Program Management 

FDC coordinates the program from store-level implementation through nonprofit assignment, ongoing troubleshooting, reporting, and documentation. 

 

Local Nonprofit Partner Network 

We identify, vet, and coordinate qualified nonprofit organizations to pick up donations from each store. 

 

One Point of Contact Across Your Organization 

Whether you operate 10 stores or thousands of locations, FDC provides centralized management rather than requiring individual stores to manage nonprofit relationships. 

 

SKU-Level Donation Tracking 

Capture detailed information about what’s being donated, allowing retailers to understand donation volume, product mix, value, and trends. 

 

Customized Reporting & Analytics 

Store, region, division, and enterprise-level reporting give leadership visibility into program performance and community impact. 

 

IRS Documentation & Form 8283 Support 

FDC helps manage valuations, qualified recipient documentation, required signatures, and reporting. 

 

Food Safety & Compliance Support 

Programs are designed for safe food handling, established SOPs, training, regulatory requirements, and applicable food-donation protections.

 

Store-Level Training & SOPs 

Clear procedures help associates understand what can be donated, how to handle it, where to stage it, and how to record donations. 

 

Sustainability & Waste-Reduction Reporting 

Demonstrate how much edible food is being redirected from disposal to community organizations. 

 

Scalable National Coverage 

Decades of building connections means a charity partner network which provides national coverage. Wherever our donor partners need us, we’re already there.
