Need Food Now?
Food Recovery Network
The purpose of the Food Recovery Network (FRN) is to recover leftover food from UMass Amherst’s dining halls as well as campus events and donate it to people in Amherst who are in need.
FRN uses student volunteers to pick up food from dining halls and transport it to shelters in Amherst. This organization plans to raise awareness in the campus community about food waste and food insecurity; both at UMass Amherst and in the greater community. In turn, the organization hopes to foster a mutually beneficial relationship between the university and individuals in the community positively influenced by our efforts.
We hope to educate students about food insecurity on campus and in the town of Amherst to help foster a more informed student body. Our ultimate goal is to reduce food waste on campus in every aspect.

No Student Goes Hungry
The "No Student Goes Hungry" initiative at UMass Amherst offers several resources to support students facing food insecurity. Students can contact the Dean of Students Office to access Single Stop Resources and learn about available assistance. The Emergency Supplemental Meals program provides immediate help through meal swipes for those with meal plans. Value meals at campus cafes offer reduced prices, particularly one hour before closing. The Meal Plan Assistance Fund offers emergency support for undergraduate students in good standing facing unexpected hardships. Additionally, the Food Recovery Network collaborates with UMass Dining to recover and donate leftover food to those in need. The initiative relies on donations from the campus community to sustain these food security programs.
