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.
