Fight Waste.

Feed People.

Start a Chapter

40% of food is wasted. You can help change that.

Millions of people in the U.S. experience hunger and food insecurity every day. That’s why we’re proud to work with students across the country as they lead the movement to recover surplus food that would otherwise go to waste – working to feed their neighbors, reduce waste, and make the world more sustainable – one meal at a time.

Working with FRN gave me confidence to pursue new goals, and helped me realize what a impact just a few devoted people can make!

Being part of FRN has changed how I look at food and the American food system in general. I wasn’t as passionate about food-related issues and food waste before I joined FRN, and now that I have been part of the leadership team for two years, that passion has grown even stronger.
