Does the institution donate leftover or surplus food?:
A brief description of the food donation program:
Culinary Services has an an extensive program that donates food to several local organizations.
Food Movers is a prepared and perishable food rescue program sponsored by the Greater Lansing Food Bank. This program is a non-traditional form of food banking in that it rescues excess edible food in the greater Lansing community. The food is immediately delivered to shelters, community kitchens, community centers, senior citizen housing, subsidized housing and other places in our community where there is a need for food.
The 2010 Help Tackle Hunger Food Drive collected 6,258 pounds of food and more than $1,500 in food and monetary donations to the MSU Student Food Bank and Greater Lansing Food Bank.
