We have a little
something for everyone

From social media, art contests, webinars, and service opportunities to teaching resources, in-person events, and more, Food Waste Prevention Week offers a way for everyone to get involved in promoting food waste awareness and education. 

FWPW Partners and Friends

FWPW welcomes engagement at any level!

Partners are organizations (businesses, non-profits, governments, faith-based organizations) that share our commitment to preventing food waste, wherever it is generated. Partners support FWPW many different ways, including: amplifying our message through their own social media channels, sponsoring webinars, supporting in-person events during the week, creating learning opportunities for K-12 students, engaging university students. FWPW supports our partners by providing resources, such as our social media calendar and its associated posts, educational resources, information on how to plan in-person events or develop worker engagement efforts in their places of employment, and more.

Friends are individuals who share our commitment to reducing food waste and participate in FWPW by boosting our social media outreach through their own personal networks. Friends participate in webinars and workshops and may support local events. Friends may also access resources available to partners for use in their own communities.
