The role of chapters
Creating meaningful impact on campuses around the world
Chapters play a crucial role in building food sharing networks. By volunteering, fundraising, and advocating, organizers can work with Sharing Excess to promote food security in their community. Chapters can be powered by college students, high schoolers, or everyday community heroes.
Pop-Up Distributions
Organize and host food distributions on campus and in your community. We'll help you source food and set up so you can distribute and spread the word about SE.
Meal Swipe Donations
Student meal swipes often go to waste. Your chapter can collect unused and donated meal swipes and redirect them to students who may be facing food insecurity on campus.
Advocacy
Be a voice for food security and waste reduction. Engage in educational initiatives and work with stakeholders to create policies that ensure a sustainable and equitable food system on campus.
Fundraising
Create fundraisers that support our mission and your chapter. From marathons to game nights, food drives to concerts, we encourage you to get creative — the sky is the limit!
Volunteering
Lend a helping hand by volunteering with your chapter. Whether it's with SE or another organization, you can get people together to make meaningful local impact.
Active Chapters
These passionate and dedicated groups of individuals are at the forefront of our mission, driving change, and making a tangible impact in the fight against food waste and hunger.
