Since August 2020, Food Recovery Network volunteers have helped recover 2.1 million pounds of surplus food from farms across the country in partnership with The Farmlink Project 🙌 That is MAJOR!
2.1 million pounds of food is enough to feed every student at four U.S. elementary schools three meals per day for a whole year. How amazing is that?!
This is super impactful work that we are thrilled to continue to offer to students, alumni, partners, and supporters in our network. The best part? You only need to give one hour of your time to make a big difference!
Want to join a Power Hour? Check out this short clip from FRN’s Program Manager, Erin Price, to learn what a Power Hour is and how spending one hour with The Farmlink Project leads to millions of pounds of food recovered.
When you’re ready, sign up to volunteer! This is a great way to volunteer virtually and to meet new people who share your passion for food recovery. It’s also a great activity to do with friends and family, so invite them to join you!
