community engagement Resources

Weigh the Waste is a fun and interactive way to engage fellow students in understanding just how much plate waste an individual can produce at the end of a meal. While food recovery is an important and effective solution to food waste, exposing how much food students throw away demonstrates, even if unintentional, everyone causes food waste.

Every year, dozens of FRN chapters plan a campus-wide food recovery event to ensure that surplus non-perishable food from student dorms is recovered and donated to local nonprofit organizations. This is an impactful and low-touch opportunity to recover food from your campus, support your chapter’s partner agencies, and educate the campus community about food waste.
