CAMPUS CURRENT New Life for Leftovers


Tortellini, beef, green beans and carrots fill plastic containers that stand ready on a cart in the Hoch-Shanahan walk-in refrigerator. “These will go to the church tonight,” says


Dining Services General Manager Miguel Ruvalcaba. “It’s a complete meal that will feed about 25 people.” Leftovers from the previous day’s menu, the food will be transferred to Pomona Valley Christian Center, which ministers to the hungry and homeless. What might have been wasted will


now help others through a Food Rescue program of the student club Mudders Making a Difference (MMAD).


About 20–25 containers—each holding servings for about 20 people—are donated by HMC weekly during the academic year. “[The program] is a good way for students to make a real dif-


ference on a regular basis, but in a way that’s practical given their busy schedules,” said Julius Elinson ’13, HMC’s Food Rescue program coordinator. In the spring of 2010, MMAD joined with volunteers from


the other Claremont Colleges to participate in the Food Rescue program, which originated on the Pomona College campus. Five nights a week, HMC student volunteers join with those from CMC and Scripps to collect the food containers and deliver them to the church. “People can easily forget or simply ignore how much good one can do right in their neighborhood,” said Elinson.
