Razorback Food Recovery presents a Lunch & Learn opportunity with Seeds That Feed from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, in Arkansas Union 201. Join us for a Chick-fil-A lunch and to learn how Seeds That Feed works alongside farmers to move excess foods to accessible foods, making eating healthier a reality for thousands of our neighbors who are not always as fortunate.

Through the collection and redistribution of surplus foods — directly from regional farms and retailers to under-resourced populations — Seeds That Feed is able to break down barriers to healthier eating, while we help to eliminate waste.

Register on Hogsync.

This Lunch & Learn is in recognition of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. This annual program brings people together across the country to raise awareness of the problems of hunger and homelessness. Participating groups spend the week holding a series of educational, service, fundraising and advocacy events. Razorback Food Recovery and the Jane B. Gearhart Food Pantry are collaborating to raise awareness of our community's needs.

Razorback Food Recovery is a student-led and student-operated volunteer program through the Volunteer Action Center housed in the Center for Community Engagement. RFR has eight board members who work with over 20 volunteers to recover food from on-campus dining outlets and local partners. With the help of Chartwells, Greek Life houses, Whole Foods, Full Circle Food Pantry and on-campus events, Razorback Food Recovery can distribute excess food to those who experience food insecurity both on campus and in the Fayetteville community.

The Volunteer Action Center is a student-led organization that connects students at the U of A to service opportunities on and off campus. The Volunteer Action Center seeks to foster a positive relationship between students at the U of A and the Northwest Arkansas community through its six signature programs: Be B.O.L.D., Dream B.I.G., the Jane B. Gearhart Food Circle Food Pantry, Passionate About Literacy, Razorback Food Recovery and Student Engagement. Learn more by visiting volunteer.uark.edu or @uavac on Instagram.
