Purpose
UMB FREE (Food Recovery + Environmental Eating) is a food rescue initiative aiming to minimize food waste and feed students at UMB.
Progress:
As of Feb. 17, 2023:
- A form has been created for event planners and managers to submit leftover food alerts.
- A listserv has been created for members of the UMB community to be alerted when events have leftover food.
- Alerts have gone out for leftover food at several campus events.
For more detailed information, visit the UMB FREE webpage.
Alignment with Strategic Plan:
Waste and Procurement: Promote source reduction, reuse, and recycling and composting across UMB’s campus.
Waste and Procurement: Promote sustainable eating practices (locally sourced, plant-forward, and low-waste) among the UMB population.
