Rhodes College Food Recovery Network

The Food Recovery Network is a student-based organization that was founded to fight food waste and hunger in America via college campuses around the United States. In 2016, Rhodes College students opened a chapter of the FRN at Rhodes. Leftover food from the Refectory is collected, weighed, and recorded before it is distributed to various partners in the Memphis area.
