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.

We have talked to countless people who say, “I always wondered what happened to all of the food at the end of the conferences I attend.” People see the abundance for themselves, and they care. By having a food recovery plan in place, companies can be proud to answer that question: “The surplus food from this event will be donated locally to help feed people experiencing food insecurity.” That goodwill produced cannot be bought; it is genuinely earned by doing the right thing.
