About

📢Volunteer for a Food Recovery and receive a $15 Smith's gift card!💳💸💲

The Food Recovery Network here at Weber State donates surplus food from dining services to the Lantern House and Weber Cares Pantry. The Food Recovery Network has a lot of impact on not only waste, but also food insecurity within campus and the community. Over the course of the 2022 academic year, the Food Recovery Network recovered 1,810 lbs. of food, the equivalent of 1,500 meals, from the campus dining services that was donated to the Lantern House. 

As a volunteer, you will assist with packaging food for transport and loading the vehicle. 

Below are the following forms needed to participate in this event. Volunteers are unable to participate without filling out all 3 steps!
