MemberDuties
The Food Recovery Program (FRP) reduces food insecurity and addresses climate change by redistributing surplus food that might end up in the landfill to neighbors experiencing hunger. The FRP acts as a courier of commercially prepared, surplus food, to meal distribution agencies, with about 50% of the recovered food distributed to residents in food deserts within Whatcom County. The FRP relies on its close relationships with donating businesses, recipient agencies, and volunteer pool.
The VISTA member will strengthen the FRP’s capacity by increasing the number of donor businesses, increasing our volunteer pool, and developing strong relationships with existing and new recipient agencies.
