About
Food Recovery Network unites students at colleges and universities to fight food waste and hunger by recovering surplus perishable food from their campuses and surrounding communities that would otherwise go to waste and donating it to people in need. Founded in September of 2011 as a student organization at the University of Maryland, College Park, FRN has since become the largest student movement against food waste and hunger in America. Food Recovery Verified (FRV) is a program of the FRN network that recognizes and rewards food businesses of any type that are working to fight waste and feed people through food recovery. FRV serves as a third party that verifies that surplus food is being donated at least once a month to hunger fighting non-profits. The objective of FRV is to help provide resources to food-insecure Americans by enhancing national awareness and participation in food recovery. FRN has been covered by MSNBC, ABC, LA Times, Upworthy and the Washington Post, as well as being recognized by Guidestar as one of the top student-run nonprofits of 2012.
