CASE 1: SP RICHARDS The Challenge SP Richards faced a daunting task: dealing with 16 truckloads of personal care and hygiene items spread across the continental United States. The products—including soaps, industrial cleaners, and medical disposables—were nearing expiration or had already passed their best-by date. While these items were no longer suitable for SP Richards’ distribution clients, they remained highly valuable to nonprofits that desperately needed them.

CASE 2: GUEST SUPPLY The Challenge Guest Supply faced a significant challenge: 30 truckloads of personal care and hygiene products—ranging from soaps and shampoos to medical disposables—distributed across the continental U.S. These items, though short-dated or expired, still held immense value for nonprofits. However, they were no longer suitable for Guest Supply’s hospitality clients. The company needed a strategic, cost-effective solution to clear this inventory in a way that avoided waste and created meaningful impact for those in need. Solution & Opportunity Donating Simplified worked with Guest Supply to tackle this reverse logistics challenge. Ultimately, Guest Supply partnered with us to donate $15 million worth of personal care and hygiene products to nonprofits. Leveraging strategic, impact-based matching, we made these vital supplies accessible to the nonprofits who needed them most. Our streamlined system simplified the donation process, ensured full transparency, and maximized efficiency—transforming surplus inventory into a force for good. The Result & Impact The impact was transformative. Guest Supply’s donation reached 15 under-resourced nonprofits across 25 states. Altogether, more than 760 pallets, equating to over 1 million pounds of essential supplies, were diverted from landfills and incineration. Not only did these contributions make a meaningful difference in countless communities, but they also resulted in $1.47M in tax savings for Guest Supply. This powerful outcome demonstrated the tangible benefits of turning excess inventory into charitable donations. Guest Supply’s inventory challenge became a chance to repurpose valuable personal care and hygiene products, benefiting multiple individuals and families in need across the country.
