What Our FWAN Members Have to Say:

“2022 has been a year of change at our food bank. New challenges are forcing us to adapt. Through the FWAN, we’ve connected with people across the world who share our mission of ending food waste and feeding people. The FWAN community has given us helpful ideas we wouldn’t otherwise have had access to, which in turn is helping us serve our community.”

Dylan Driscoll Retail Food Coordinator, Central Texas Food Bank

“Everything is or should be about the community, including the food supply chain. Whether building or connecting people together, we love being part of ReFED’s Food Waste Action Network. We have met like-minded people who share our ethos and desire to help the world reduce food waste, lessen everyone’s global impact, and advocate for change. ReFED’s resources keep us as up-to-date as possible on what’s happening in food supply, impact, and investment, which helps us immensely when building upon our product innovations.”

Curtis Wong Partnership Director, Trendi

“I was thrilled coming into this conference, because now is the time for us to be acting on food waste and seeing things on a systemic level across the entire circular economy space. ReFED has been channeling that work for all of us, and I’m feeling recharged and inspired by all of the efforts to create a more just and resilient food system — especially as people see the connections with food security and climate change, and the importance of community-based local leadership. Thank you, ReFED and Dana Gunders, for prioritizing these critical linkages.”
