Largest Student-Led Organization Tackles Food Waste to Feed Hungry Families at San Francisco’s Biggest Tailgate Party

San Francisco, CA – As excitement builds for the Big Game in Santa Clara, local tailgate parties are set to take center stage. Among the festivities, Food Recovery Network (FRN) sees these events as vital opportunities to combat hunger in our communities. At Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate, Hellmann’s Mayonnaise and FRN will work together to ensure that no surplus food goes to waste, benefiting families in need in the Bay Area.

For the third consecutive year, Hellmann’s is partnering with FRN—which has recovered surplus food from the Big Game for multiple years—to rescue high-quality food from Big Game tailgates and redirect it to communities in need.

“We’re proud to partner once again with Food Recovery Network to make food recovery part of the Big Game experience,” said Jessica Grigoriou, Senior Vice President of Condiments Marketing in North America, Unilever. “By rescuing high-quality surplus food from events like Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate and inspiring people to see the value in their own leftovers, we’re showing how small actions can add up to real impact—because good food should be enjoyed, not wasted.”

Last year, FRN achieved remarkable success during the Big Game, recovering 12,348 pounds of surplus food from two Hellmann’s-supported recovery events in one day, equating to approximately 10,290 meals that were provided to the New Orleans Mission. The recovery included high-value items such as seafood, chicken, and butter—essential ingredients that significantly impact local organizations fighting hunger.

This year, FRN is ready to make an even larger impact in the Bay Area. FRN staff, alongside dedicated students and alumni from the University of San Francisco, Cal Poly, San Francisco State University, and Case Western Reserve, will be on-site at Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate. All recovered food will be donated to the Delancey Street Foundation and Samaritan House, vital resources for people experiencing food insecurity in the area.

Regina Harmon, CEO of Food Recovery Network, expressed her gratitude, stating, “Hellmann’s has been unwavering in their support of our food recovery efforts over the past three years and in our mission to raise awareness about preventing food waste. Their partnership has been instrumental in our efforts to recover high-quality surplus food, enabling us to help local families experiencing hunger. Together, we are making a meaningful impact on both hunger and sustainability.”

FRN’s commitment to large-scale food recovery extends beyond the festivities of the football game. A recent partnership with Gaylord Hotels in Washington, D.C., and San Diego has resulted in over 100,000 pounds of food saved over the last few years. Ryan Verhulst, Hotel Manager at Gaylord National, stated, “Food recovery is essential to reaching our sustainability goals. As part of the Marriott family, we emphasize nurturing our world and reducing our environmental footprint. This includes decreasing our food waste and increasing our contribution to our community. Partnerships like the one we have with Food Recovery Network help us reach our goals while also giving back to local families in need.”

Food Recovery Network (FRN) is the largest student-led movement recovering surplus food and ending hunger in the U.S. We unite 8,000+ college students, food suppliers, farmers, and local businesses across the U.S. in the fight against climate change and hunger by recovering surplus food from across the supply chain and donating it to local nonprofit organizations that feed people experiencing hunger.

Tpnation Kids Foundation in Uganda

Greetings brother Paul. It’s me Musumba John Reagan, caretaker at Tpnation Kids Foundation in Uganda. ( https://www.facebook.com/hallelujahfound?mibextid=ZbWKwL ). Our foundation is aiming at feeding the hungry and educating the poor kids in Uganda, plus provision of the necessary requirements of their day today life.

However, my charities are mostly donation based because I earn little salary and that can’t help me accomplish all the tasks. So your faithful giving boosts my God given vision to transform lives of the poor in Uganda.

Attached are some of the testimonials that I do the work brother.

I’ll be happy for your positive feedback to save the Ugandan people. Thank you very much brother Paul.

Army Samantha Poe, EAT LIKE A WARRIOR

Listen to “Army Samantha Poe, EAT LIKE A WARRIOR” on Spreaker.

WITH HEALTHY FALL FAVORITES FROM AWARD-WINNING ARMY CHEF
How the Army’s Culinary Specialists Are Using Food to Improve the
Health & Happiness of Soldiers

Feeding an Army of hungry Soldiers requires serious planning, but keeping meals tasty and healthy takes a whole new level of talent, creativity, and skill.

Thankfully, U.S. Army chefs are a group of gifted culinary specialists following their passion for the culinary arts, while serving their country and providing fellow Soldiers with the proper food and nutrition they need to fuel their bodies and minds, optimize energy, and perform at their best.

The nutritious food Army chefs dish out to Soldiers is driven by the Army’s “Go For Green” program that labels food either green (fresh produce, whole grains, lean fish), yellow (seafood, red meat, pasta), or red (desserts, fried foods, cheeses) to make it easy for Soldiers to find high-performance foods and drinks that boost their fitness, strength, and health.

While the Army’s dining facilities may remind the average person of traditional cafeterias, menus are anything but standard cafeteria fare. The Army’s culinary specialists offer a savory and tasty dining experience with the familiar taste of home, boosting the morale of Soldiers around the world.

As the weather cools down, award-winning Army chef and Staff Sergeant (SSG) Samantha Poe is dishing up delectable fall favorites, including a delicious and healthy beet cake full of essential vitamins that can help with blood pressure and athletic performance, which helped lead the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Team to a silver medal at the 2020 World Culinary Olympics in Stuttgart, Germany. SSG Poe was also named the American Culinary Federation (ACF) Pastry Chef of the Year in 2019.

SSG Poe shares her healthy fall recipes with the American public, discuss how the “Go for Green” program provides for the well-being of Army Soldiers, along with great ideas for home chefs who are looking to bring healthy, tasty options to the table this season – for football games, family dinners, and beyond.

A single can of soup is no substitute for a filling Thanksgiving meal.

Goal: $200,000 by MIDNIGHT Wednesday

Paul: 10 million seniors will go hungry on Thanksgiving. We need your help to reach them.

Will you be a hero for hungry seniors today?

Make your generous gift of $16 or whatever you can afford now >>

Yet that’s all some seniors will eat next Thursday.

While we’re feasting on dinner with family and friends, more than 10 million seniors will be struggling just to make it through the day.

That’s the appalling state of senior hunger in America — and it’s time we did something about it.

Make a charitable gift of $16 or whatever you can afford to fight senior hunger before Thanksgiving.

Paul, sometimes I wish I could pretend that senior hunger was a myth, that the reports were wrong. But the fact is that this tragedy is unfolding right here in America — today. Already, more than 10 million older Americans are facing hunger, and more are at risk.

These hungry seniors are our neighbors, people we pass on the street or say hi to at the post office. They’re in every community across the country, suffering silently just to get enough food to make it through the day.

It’s heartbreaking — but together, we can help. Already this year, we’ve delivered more than 4 million meals through community meal pack events across the country, including a record-breaking two-day meal pack challenge in Washington, D.C. We piloted new, innovative solutions to senior food insecurity with the rollout of Grocery Guides programs that help older Americans make healthy, affordable choices in their local stores. And we’ve helped low-income seniors make healthy choices through our Fresh Savings program, which makes fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients. We’ve stood together to raise awareness about this problem — and committed to working together to solve it.

Help us raise $200,000 to fight senior hunger — every dollar makes a difference >>

I hope you’ll consider making a voluntary, charitable contribution to AARP Foundation, AARP’s charitable affiliate. For hungry seniors who have nowhere else to turn, your support can be a beacon of hope. Thanks in advance for standing with us this holiday season.
