FRN10X: FRN’S RESULTS COUNT STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

As Food Recovery Network (FRN) has grown, our organization has learned a lot about our values and our impact. We value being a student-centered movement. We value inclusion. We value active listening and including the voices of many. We have learned that our impact among our student leaders can be transformative, and we have learned that there are opportunities where FRN’s impact can be deeper and more systemic for our larger society. With these learnings and values, we launched FRN10x in 2020, a strategic framework that positions FRN’s impact and footprint to increase tenfold by 2030.

FRN10X set in motion our vision to grow our network from 4,000 to 40,000 people by 2030. In the short four years since we implemented this strategic framework, we have grown to a nationwide network of 8,000 people, doubling our network. We recovered more food in 1 year than the entire 10 years prior and distributed 329% more meals than we did in 2019.

FRN geographically targets our work in areas of heightened need for food access and greater opportunity for our food recovery programs - leading to exponentially effective programming.

Acknowledgement

Food Recovery Network recognizes that food security, economic security, and climate justice are inextricably linked to racial equity, and achieving progress in any of these areas depends on addressing the root causes of these inequities. FRN is committed to racial equity and inclusion through all aspects of our organizational development and programming. We welcome, respect, and encourage the contributions of all individuals, celebrating diversity of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital and familial status, language, mental or physical impairments and disabilities, military status, economic class, immigration status, foster care status, body size, criminal history, and other characteristics that are often used to marginalize individuals and communities.
