Fight Waste
Feed People
For the month of September, we'll donate one meal for every job completed.
For every new location or client, we'll donate enough meals to feed a family of 5.
About Our Partner
Food Recovery Network
Food Recovery Network (FRN) is the largest student-led movement fighting food waste in the U.S. Our network of 4,000 students, business leaders, and dining providers, recover surplus food from across the supply chain, deliver it local community non profits that then serve individuals and families experiencing hunger.
How The Student-Led Food Recovery Model Works
Step One
College student volunteers safely recover surplus food from their campuses and communities
Step Two
Students transport recovered surplus food to their hunger-fighting nonprofit partner
Step Three
The nonprofit partner repurposes FRN’s food donations to feed their community
The Meal Gap
Every year 26M tons of food is wasted in commercial and educational settings. Meanwhile, 34M people in the U.S. are experiencing hunger.
FRN's Solution
FRN has nearly 200 student-led chapters at colleges and universities across the U.S., and they work to prioritize expansion in areas where food waste and food insecurity are highest.
FRN recovers surplus food from various parts of the supply chain including: local and commercial farms, farmers markets, community food businesses and restaurants, campus and corporate dining facilities, and large-scale events.
Food Recovery Network is the largest student-led movement fighting food waste and hunger in America. Since 2011, FRN's network has:
Recovered more than 14.6 million pounds of food that otherwise would have gone to waste.
Donated more than 12.2 million meals for people experiencing hunger.
Prevented more than 6,437 metric tons of carbon dioxide from reaching the atmosphere.
