Leftover Food Pickup

Do you have leftover food from an event you don’t want to waste? A team member will pick it up and give it to those looking for a meal. 

Sometimes, it’s hard to predict how much food is needed at events on our campus. The standard seems to be to order more to ensure no one goes hungry, but this often leads to lots of leftovers!

We want to decrease this excess food, or at least put it to use. The first step would be to prevent extra food waste in the first place (hey, this is also fiscally responsible!). Use the Guestimator meal planning tool from Save the Food to try to get an estimate of what your needs are.

So you tried that, but now you have five leftover sheet pizzas? Let our SSIT help you get rid of them! Place a request below to have one of our SSIT members come and take your leftovers. They will bring them to a high-traffic area on campus for the community to finish up. 

Responsibilities of the Requestee: You will coordinate pick-up with the SSIT team member.

Advanced Notice Needed: Due to the quick turnaround time needed for food safety, there is a chance that our SSIT might not be able to fulfill your request. We might not have anyone available to act fast. Once the request is received, we will try to find a member to act within an hour.  We will only recover food that has been served on the same day.
