For 15 years, FRN has been strategically finding ways to feed more people while ending food waste.
Celebrate with us!
On September 21, 2026, Food Recovery Network turns 15.
We are kicking off our 15th year with cake and candles on campuses across the U.S.
Throw a party for your chapter on September 21st.
Official chapters! Follow these steps to throw your FRN birthday party!
Be sure to let us know you’ll be throwing a party through our care package request form!
Reserve a space on campus.
Promote the birthday party to all your FRNds and partners on campus via flyers, email blast, and social media.
Secure snacks. Contact a local bakery or your dining hall to see if they would donate/bake you a cake for your celebration. FRN chapter funding can be utilized towards appropriate party costs. Have a chapter leader see how much funding you have available via FRN Connect and be sure to hold onto your receipts so you can upload them to our grant form and receive a reimbursement.
Plan games, watch a movie, make a photo booth (printable photo props here), make an FRN birthday playlist, get creative!
Tag FRN @foodrecovery on Instagram and be sure to send us photos afterwards
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via programs@foodrecoverynetwork.org.
