What is the Food Recovery Network at SIUE?
The Food Recovery Network at SIUE is a campus partner through the Food Recovery Network, a national organization with a goal to cultivate leaders to develop a national network of local solutions to the problem of hunger in our country. Food Recovery Network at SIUE will recover food from cafeterias, grocery stores, and restaurants and engage students as volunteers who prepare and deliver meals to the community.
Food Recovery Network at SIUE will do the following each week:
- Recycle food
- Provide meals and education to the community
- Use donated food, shared kitchen space, and students who want to make a difference
- Provide leadership opportunities for students.
Student volunteers will develop partnerships, plan menus, run cooking shifts, organize drivers, garden, glean, and teach nutrition education to children and families.
