IHS guests enjoyed the salad the same night, while the rest of the items were saved for the next day. I think it's really important not just for the recovery of food and prevention of food waste, but also giving back to the community that I grew up in, I think is something that's really cool as well. We're really glad that the Food Recovery Network volunteers come to pick up and help fight food insecurity in our community. Gwen Nakamura, University of Hawaii graduate student Sodexo marketing specialist Marcie Moribe said the Food Recovery Network prevented more than 15,000 pounds of food from entering landfills. Nakamura and UH officials are calling on more students to help collect, weigh and drive the food to IHS.
