Regina Anderson, executive director of Food Recovery Network, is coordinating a campaign to rescue leftover food on game day. The Super Bowl is as much an annual food event as it is the biggest sporting event of the year. But while food is an essential part of Super Bowl celebrations, food wastage doesn’t have to be. In 2020, just before the United States was plunged into a pandemic, FRN did just that by organizing its first Super Bowl food rescue effort. Food Recovery Network collected close to 2,000 pounds of leftover food from the Players Tailgate Event at last year's Super Bowl in Los Angeles.
