About Food Recovery Network / Food Recovery Network at UCI is a chapter of a national organization called the Food Recovery Network (FRN).

FRN was founded in September 2011 as a student group at the University of Maryland. It is now the largest student movement fighting against food waste and hunger.

 

FRN leverages the existing infrastructure of colleges, universities, farms, and food businesses to provide leaders at these institutions with the technical support, tools, and training they need to redirect surplus food that would otherwise be wasted to local nonprofits that feed community members experiencing hunger.
