The Food Recovery Network is a national nonprofit organization in the United States that aims to reduce food waste and alleviate hunger. It connects college students with local food businesses to recover surplus food that would otherwise go to waste. This recovered food is then donated to community organizations that serve those in need. Founded in 2011, the network has grown to include numerous chapters across various colleges and universities. By engaging students in food recovery efforts, the organization promotes sustainability and raises awareness about food insecurity, making a positive impact on both the environment and local communities.
