Past Event

Wednesday October 6, 2021 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

Virtual

Food waste and hunger were two unfortunate realities that existed before COVID-19 and have been exacerbated as a result of the pandemic. In response to the dire need, ReFED launched the COVID-19 Food Waste Solutions Fund to quickly deliver vital funding to organizations on the front lines of food rescue and hunger relief. During this discussion, learn from select organizations in the Fund cohort about how they expanded and scaled their services to fight food waste and hunger, how their audacity has led in new initiatives and innovations, and how food rescue may continue to evolve in the future.

This event is available to all members of ReFED's Food Waste Action Network (FWAN)! If you are not yet a member of this free network, please visit our website to learn more or fill out our Member Sign-up Form.
