About
The Food Recovery Network is back and ready to start donating surplus food from dining services to the Lantern House and Weber Cares Pantry. During the Fall '21 semester, we were able to donate over 1.8k lbs, the equivalent of more than 1,500 meals to those who are food insecure in our community. Why is this important?
At Weber State, we value every individual, collective excellence, and transformative experiences. These values rely on supporting a healthy and liveable environment, equitable society, and viable economy. Volunteering with the Food Recovery Network is one way to make that happen. So sign up to #LiveGreenBleedPurple!
* Food Recovery dates are subject to change and are dependant on the quantity of surplus food produced on campus on a given day.
- 30-40% of all food produced is wasted. In 2019 that looked like 80M lbs, which is enough to feed every food-insecure person in the US for a whole year.
- The U.S. loses about $213.9 billion annually to food waste and healthcare costs associated with food insecurity.
- The Association of American Colleges & Universities found 48% of college students across the US are food insecure
