DU's FBLA Fundraiser for We Don't Waste

The University of Denver Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Chapter believes that leadership is rooted in giving back to the communities that have given us so much. For our year long community service project (to be presented at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in June) we have partnered with We Don't Waste to help reduce food waste and address food insecurity in our local community. 

Through this partnership, our chapter has volunteered at Mobile Food Markets, created and attended We Don’t Waste Fundraisers and Awareness Events, toured their facilities, and helped rescue and redirect surplus food using the We Rescue app. All funds raised will allow us to expand our impact by directly supporting We Don’t Waste in their mission to recover and distribute food to those who need it most.

About We Don't Waste

We Don’t Waste believes nutritious food should go to people, not landfills. We reduce food insecurity and food waste in the Denver area by recovering quality, unused food from the food industry and delivering it free of charge to food pantries, schools, shelters, and directly to the community through Mobile Food Markets. We also educate our community on the importance of nutrition and reducing food waste to protect our planet, while advocating for increased food access. Since 2009, We Don’t Waste has recovered and distributed more than 250 million servings of food to nonprofit partners and individuals facing food insecurity.
