See if your school has an existing chapter or an existing method of recovering surplus food. Research the issue of food waste, such as how it impacts the enviroment, who it affects the most, and ways to minimize food waste on campus. 

Contact your nutritional services and school administration to create a plan to start a PPP chapter in your school. Find a local food bank or nonprofit to deliver to. If you are unaware of any in your area, Feeding America has a database of food banks. 

Recruit people in your school who are also interested in participating and helping your community. Provide training to voluteers on food recovery. 

Setup boxes or create a method to recover food and a method to deliver this food to a nonprofit or food bank.

Log two successful recoveries and email us at info@peopleplatesplanet.org with photos of your recoveries, the weight of all food recovered, and your chapter's official meeting place.
