Great Stories from Triple C’s AmeriCorps Student Resource Centers – Baldwin Wallace’s Approach to Tackling Food Insecurity and Food Waste Prevention

Meet Julia Stein, a Triple C Student Resource Center AmeriCorps member at Baldwin Wallace (BW) University.


Read Julia's article about how the Student Resource Center is tackling student food insecurity through initiatives like Campus Plate, a program that reduces food waste while providing free, ready-to-eat meals across the Baldwin Wallace campus.

Students at Baldwin Wallace (BW) noticed an alarming number of people on campus who were struggling with food insecurity or hunger related problems.


These students took action to create a program called Campus Plate that is designed to address both hunger and food waste by packaging food from dining halls across the campus and distributing it through a proprietary app.


Campus Plate has already led to a decrease in food waste, with reports indicating a reduction of up to 10 percent.
