FRN’s FY25 Annual Report
Our journey has been remarkable. For the past 14 years, Food Recovery Network (FRN) has been tapping into the incredible power of community. We have built a vibrant network of 200+ college and university student-led chapters, all dedicated to making a meaningful impact. With the support of businesses and local communities, we’ve mobilized over 8,000 college student leaders and food system partners who share our vision of a sustainable and equitable food system.
“First funded in FY 2021, the Basic Needs Grant is vital to addressing the nationwide crisis of basic needs insecurity, and has helped colleges and universities in 22 states and Puerto Rico build and expand holistic, comprehensive supports that address food and housing insecurity, mental and physical healthcare challenges, transportation, technology, child care, and other costs that often derail students from completing their degree. The coalition urges Congress to increase these critical investments in student well-being and success.” The Hope Center for Student Basic Needs
