Happy Monday! Let’s get stuck in.

Circular Feature Showcase: Stock

Founded in Chicago in 2024 by logistics veteran Abby Nawrocki, Stock is redefining how brands handle excess inventory. After a decade leading US fulfilment and distribution for global giants like Zara, SKIMS, Uniqlo, and Apple, and helping scale 3PLs including Deliverr, Flexport, and ShipMonk, Abby spotted a persistent problem: warehouses overflowing with unsellable product while nonprofits struggled to access quality goods.

Stock bridges that gap by connecting 3PLs, DTC brands, and retailers needing to reclaim warehouse space with nonprofits eager to meet donation demand. The platform makes it as easy to donate surplus inventory as it is to fulfil an order - offering tools for listing new and used items, intelligent nonprofit matching, and end-to-end logistics coordination. Crucially, it also helps brands unlock eligible tax deductions by donating goods instead of liquidating or destroying them.

Today, Stock is growing fast with backing from Forum Ventures and an expanding customer base across the US, including Stord, ShipMonk, Rover, Portland Leather Goods, Suri, and many more. To date, it has facilitated the donation of over $13 million worth of goods to nonprofits such as Texas Wounded Warriors, The Youth Foundation, Goodwill, and others.

Looking ahead, Stock aims to divert over $100 billion worth of inventory from landfill to underserved communities each year, expand globally, and enable millions of donations worldwide. Upcoming developments include WMS integrations and drop-shipping directly to communities in need, further streamlining donation supply chains.

Stock’s mission is simple yet bold: turn excess inventory from a liability into a force for environmental and social good - creating smarter brands, stronger communities, and a truly circular inventory ecosystem.

We absolutely love this model and you should too! If you're a 3PL managing inventory for multiple brands, a multi-category brand with excess stock, or a nonprofit serving communities nationwide, connect with Stock today:
