"Every day, we have the choice to protect the planet and feed our neighbors. At a time when every dollar counts at the checkout counter, we cannot afford to let billions of pounds of food go to waste. "

You have been part of Food Recovery Network’s mission because you believe everyone deserves access to nourishing food, because you care about our environment, and because you know, for nearly 15 years, FRN has been strategically finding ways to feed more people while ending food waste. We need your help, now more than ever, to meet our mission.

Through learning with neighbors over the past two years, we realized that while hunger exists in every zip code, it does not exist equally in every zip code.

Additionally, the reductions in funding to SNAP and local food purchasing programs have disproportionately impacted some communities more than others.
