Discover how this initiative has already saved over 16,000 lbs of food, created 18,000+ meals, and fostered sustainability while fighting food insecurity. Hear about the challenges, triumphs, and future dreams of expanding this model beyond NIU. Plus, learn how you can get involved! Tune in for a heartwarming conversation about community, innovation, and turning surplus into support.
