Adam Charnin-Aker, a Dartmouth student, started Dartmouth Feeding Neighbors in February of 2014. Their mission is “to help promote sustainability and feed the hungry of the Upper Valley by recovering food that would otherwise be thrown away and delivering it to local shelters.” Twice a week students deliver leftover food from The Class of 1953 Food Commons and local restaurants to the Upper Valley Haven. So far they have donated 3,378 pounds of food to the Haven!
Many thanks to Dartmouth Feeding Neighbors, Dartmouth Dining Services, Everything But Anchovies, 3 Guys Basement Barbecue, and Murphy’s on the Green for their generosity and contribution to our community.
The Haven will commemorate its four decades of service to the region by releasing 40 stories of people, events, ideas, and services fundamental to our mission. We will be releasing these stories weekly, so check back often.
