As the largest student-led movement recovering surplus food in the U.S., chapters are the lifeblood of FRN. We took the opportunity this summer to launch the Summer Chapter Showcase, spotlighting 12 amazing chapters for their tireless efforts.
“Achieving the Candid Platinum Seal reflects our dedication to transparency and strengthens the trust of our donors and partners. Our Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator further validates our operational excellence,” said Regina Harmon, Executive Director of Food Recovery Network. “We hope these recognitions will introduce our work to new supporters who can help us feed more people faster.”
The movement to end food waste presents an opportunity for us to come together, reflect on our processes and habits, and explore how we can prevent waste while actively contributing to food recovery initiatives
Central Lakes College has made notable strides in local food security initiatives, distributing over 58,000 pounds of surplus food this school year. This August, Central Lakes Community College was one of five community colleges that were awarded FRN grants as part of the organization's inaugural cohort of Community College chapters.

We're thrilled to share that Food Recovery Network’s Executive Director, Regina Harmon, was recently featured on Unite to Fight Poverty’s Fight Club! Podcast hosted by Elizabeth Swindell! In this episode, Regina discusses the work FRN is doing to combat food insecurity, including our initiatives like free produce distribution markets, community refrigerators, and our community college grants program.
