Exciting Updates!

As the UMD chapter of Food Recovery Network continues to get into the swing of things this semester, we have some exciting updates for everyone.

First off, in terms of number of meals recovered, we are reaching even higher this year. In 2011-12, FRN recovered 30,000 meals. This year, we are hoping to bump up the number to 45,000. With your help, we can do it!

This Monday, September 10^th, we will begin recovering food from the North Campus Diner. This is a great opportunity for us to increase the quantity of food we collect, and also increase the number of opportunities for volunteers to help us out! We will be keeping everyone posted about future recoveries at the Diner.

Additionally, we have a new refrigerator! This means that there will be even more opportunities for food to be recovered from all around campus at more times, as we’ll be able to store it for longer periods of time.

SAVE THE DATE: On Friday September 28^th, at 2 PM, we’ll be having our first Network-Wide Event of the semester. Keep your eyes peeled for more information.

Finally, a shout-out to Lauren Kestner, who just joined the FRN Leadership Team as the new Event Coordinator.
