In 2022, the National Association of REALTORS® continued a food recovery partnership with the Food Recovery Network to ensure that surplus food from their events would be donated throughout the year. In total, Food Recovery Network provided this support for 25 food recoveries which took place during 12 annual NAR events and 3 member association events, resulting in the donation of 3,019 pounds of surplus food, equivalent to 2,516 meals, to local hunger-fighting nonprofit organizations in 12 different cities across the country.
The NAR and FRN partnership is one we can be extremely proud of. The impact to so many families is tremendous. We look forward to seeing the continued success in 2023.

Helping Our Communities in a Way That Counts
"Food security, just like shelter, is not a luxury—it’s a basic right of life. We are so grateful to have located a partner like FRN—which identified an area of real need in our world and found a practical, effective way to address it. This partnership perfectly illustrates the philanthropic spirit our members display daily in their communities, and we look forward to doing even more to feed Americans in need in the years ahead."
– NAR CEO Bob Goldberg
"NAR is such a powerful partner because they truly walk the walk to make food recovery the norm and not the exception, both by instituting food recovery plans at all of their national events … and by encouraging all of their members across the nation to establish food recovery programs at their own events."
– FRN Executive Director Regina Anderson
