About Us

 

Food Recovery Networks mission is to recover surplus food food to feed everyone experiencing hunger in the U.S.! To learn more about FRN nationwide efforts please visit https://www.foodrecoverynetwork.org/.

 

The Basic Needs Department was able to create the first ever student led chapter to UCR! Our goal is to recover surplus food on and off campus while educating Highlanders about food recovery, food waste, and other sustainable efforts!

Current Efforts

 

  • RSO Food Donation Boxes: Students can find a food donation box at our basic needs center and most RSO's on campus where they can donate canned or dry goods, new hygiene products, etc. Want a box at your department, organization, or office? Email us at basicneeds@ucr.edu
  • Quarterly Events: Our team hosts quarterly events where we provide education on topics related to food recovery/food waste. We collaborate with partners in these efforts and always have food and prizes to raffle off!
  • ScottyEats: Our team contributes to ScottyEats events by offering direct event support and managing administrative and logistical tasks.
  • Individual Donations: When pantry is in need of assistance with any food donation pick ups, our team helps when available!
