Does the institution donate leftover or surplus food?:
A brief description of the food donation program:
There are several times throughout the academic year where large food donations are made to local food shelters. In addition we do a promotion that is focused on waste reduction which is measured. Any waste reduction is rewarded by making food donations to local food shelters and charities. This program is called project clean plate. In addition, each spring, our staff participates in the Eat Right Live Right Challenge which promotes healthy eating and exercise. For 8 weeks collective weight loss and activity hours are monitored. For each pound lost a donation of $5 in food is made and $3 for each activity hour logged. Last year, this equated to over $1000 in food donations to local food pantries.
