Project description:
Food Recovery Network is a student organization that donates surplus food on campus to people in need, diverting it from being composted or landfilled. To collect this food on campus, the Food Recovery Network utilizes an electric vehicle which is in need of repairs. This project ensures that Food Recovery Network can continue to recover surplus food on campus by performing necessary repairs and providing reimbursements for volunteers who use their vehicles to transport food. Without these repairs, the work of Food Recovery Network cannot continue, and certainly cannot expand.
