First of all, thanks so much for everything you do! Because of you, FRN has recovered over 80,000 pounds of food on 8 campuses, providing 60,000 meals to those in need in our communities!
And we are looking to get even bigger! FRN is looking to catalyze a movement of food recovery activists, bringing food recovery everywhere we go.
From November 10th-18th, in conjunction with National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, FRN is launching More Students, Less Waste, a national campaign to bring food recovery to every college campus in America!
To help our campaign, we have a lot of new exciting things to share, and we wanted to give you first dibs at seeing what we have been up to.
- Take a look at our new website, www.foodrecoverynetwork.org! We’ve got a new logo, lots of information about food waste, and most importantly, a range of tools to help students start food recovery programs.
- We have already helped students at four colleges (RISD, Providence College, UT-Austin, and Claremont McKenna/Scripps/Harvey Mudd) start food recovery programs! Read about them here!
- We recently won $15,000 in the Ashoka Youth Venture Banking on Youth Competition!
What You Can Do
But if we are going to reach our goal of starting 10 food recovery programs this semester, we are going to need you help! In the next week, we want to reach 10,000 students on colleges across the country,
Here are 3 things you can do to help catalyze our movement:
- Spread the Movement: We need more people to know about this issue! Every day from November 10-18, we will be Tweeting @FoodRecovery and posting cool facts about food recovery on our Facebook page. If you like something we post, share it on your own Facebook wall!
- Like us on Facebook: If you haven’t already, show us you are a part of FRN and LIKE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE!
- Help us Start Chapters: Talk to your friends and people in your network at other schools about starting a program on their campus.
Thanks for everything you do,
Food Recovery Network at UMD
