Where do you think the leftover lasagna at Hubbell goes at the end of the day? What about the hundreds of pounds of food from Relays Week and all the catering events that Drake holds? Previously this was food waste but Drake University and Sodexo are excited to announce the start of a Food Recovery Program! This program will help relocate these resources to provide nutritious meals to people in need in the Des Moines area. Student volunteers are needed to help transport the food from Hubbell's holding location to the local agencies on a weekly basis. This group will keep you posted on updates and news regarding food recovery as well as opportunities for volunteer and leadership roles!

Welcome to the new school year, Bulldogs! We are recruiting volunteers to help with food recoveries this Fall. We have a new volunteer sign-up system - you can sign up here:https://drake.givepulse.com/group/694503-next-course-food-recovery. Food Recoveries happen Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 2-4pm, but only take 30-45 minutes. This opportunity has a double impact, as it keeps food out of the landfill and puts it into the hands of those who could use it!
