Teamwork makes the Dreamwork: FRN and our Hunger-Fighting Partners

Each day, the approximate 300 hunger-fighting nonprofit organizations in our network serve people experiencing homelessness, children and youth, unemployed or underemployed individuals, older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, immigrants, and other under-resourced groups experiencing hunger. 

These hunger-fighting nonprofits receive food donated through FRN student-led chapters and food business partners and serve it to community members experiencing hunger, free of charge. Last year, FRN donated 1 million meals to these organizations to help feed the 42 million people experiencing hunger in the U.S. 

As pillars of support for communities, as well as a backbone of FRN programs, these partners are vital to the success and impact of our work to end hunger, every day.

In celebration and support of these organizations, last month FRN’s collective network raised $6,351 for our hunger-fighting partners! These funds will support the organizations on the frontlines of the food access movement as they continue to serve and support families and individuals experiencing hunger this holiday season and beyond. 

Additionally, this year we launched our first-ever hunger-fighting partner agency bi-annual newsletter. This newsletter is packed with funding opportunities as well as resources and learning opportunities available to inspire and support our partners’ hunger-fighting efforts
