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.

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE by PRINCE FREDERICK VON SAXE-LAUENBERG

Austin Tang — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 15:44:31 +0000

Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to” where have I read that?

Talking of Santa Claus, Father Christmas I do not think there is any harm in not believing in a figure that many do acknowledge to be a fiction, a character in one’s imagination. Santa is not just a whimsical character dressed in a bright red suit with a groomed white beard and affects a jolly demeanour.

He is a symbol, a symbol of the human ability to be able to suppress the selfish and hateful tendencies that rule the major part of our lives. If you can’t believe or accept anything on faith then you’re doomed to a life dominated by doubt.

Father Christmas is based on the real life Saint Nicholas, whose feast day is celebrated on the 5^th of December.

Whose birthday do we celebrate every year on the 25^th of December? I need not ask as we all know who. We have been celebrating His coming for over 2000 years! The coming of the light in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago. We give gifts to family, friends at this time of year, what shall we give to the little Jesus who is in the manger far far away in the Holy Land? We know he received gifts from the Kings who travelled a long way to offer their respects and prayers to the new born King but what shall we give Him today in the second millennium after his birth?

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous & Healthy New Year

Listen to “Stephanie shares The Merriest Christmas Sing-A-Long ever held starring Santa & Mrs. Claus now” on Spreaker.

The Merriest Christmas Sing-A-Long ever held starring Santa & Mrs. Claus! Plus pictures with Santa on stage are available post-show.

Santa’s coming to town, but “Oh No!” Santa’s reindeer have lost their Christmas spirit and can’t fly the sleigh. Help them get it back by singing Christmas songs with Santa and Mrs. Claus, such as “Jingle Bells”, “Deck the Halls” and “Frosty the Snowman” so his Reindeer can take flight again! Santa as well as Mrs. Claus will be available for individual pictures once his reindeer regain their Christmas cheer!
The whole family can be part of the Christmas spirit with songs and pictures at Santa’s Sing-A-Long! Santa’s reindeer need music and cheer to fly. With much more than just beautiful ornaments and holiday decorations, this magical event draws you into making long-lasting holiday memories to last for generations
