Huskie Harvest

Supporting student success and environmental sustainability through food.

Huskie Harvest is an innovative program focused on reducing food insecurity and minimizing food waste on campus. Our team recovers surplus food from campus and community events and locations, then packages it into nutritious, ready-to-heat meals students can pick up at several locations around campus.
