FRNds, our movement just got bigger and stronger. Food Recovery Network recently welcomed four new faces to help us fight waste and feed people. The growth of this organization is only possible when we join forces with amazing people who bring their plethora of talents to our shared table.

Let’s get to the introductions.

Our Board of Directors grew by two.

Help us welcome Matt Kruse, a leader in social responsibility and sustainability, and Kent Wilson, who is passionate about public policy and reducing food waste. Matt and Kent bring a lot of value to our board.

We’d also like to recognize the continued commitment of Ernie Minor and Tim Kunin. Ernie and Tim served on our board for three consecutive terms. With their guidance, FRN went further than before and explored new places. Thank you for providing your support through the years!

Our FRN staff also grew by two.

Katie Jones is FRN’s first chief operating officer. Katie’s experience as the director of strategic initiatives for a nonprofit coalition will take FRN to new heights. Also joining us as chief program officer is Jon Wogman, whose previous work focused on ending hunger. We’re excited to see where he takes our programs.

Get to know Matt, Kent, Katie and Jon.

They each live by our mission to create a more sustainable food supply chain that reduces food waste. Get a small glimpse of who they are below or read their full bios here.
