We talk to Food Recovery Network Executive Director Regina Northouse about the basics of food recovery, what it takes to run a student-driven organization across hundreds of college campuses, and simple steps we as individuals can take to reduce food waste.
Regina Northouse is the Executive Director of Food Recovery Network, the largest student movement against food waste and hunger in the nation. She is responsible for setting the vision, strategy and fundraising efforts for FRN. Since joining the organization in 2015, Regina has worked to support FRN’s growth to more than 230 chapters across the country and its student leaders recover more than 2 million pounds of food that would otherwise have gone to waste.
