CHR is a program of Cornell's Public Service Center that works throughout the year to achieve three primary objectives:

1.

We are a student-run program of the Cornell University Public Service Center that works to learn about and educate the Cornell community about food waste at Cornell, current local and national hunger issues, and what individuals can do to help. Works with partnering organizations to learn more about the level of hunger in the community and the organizations we can work with that offer the best out

let for making an impact on the community.

2. Plan and organize a hunger relief effort that is relevant to current needs in the local community and Tompkins County.

3. Engage the Cornell community on issues of hunger and food insecurity in the Tompkins community and beyond, through the organization of virtual events.

Our Story

CHR is a program of Cornell's Public Service Center that works throughout the year to achieve three primary objectives: 1. We work to raise to learn about local hunger issues and to educate the Cornell community on the issue of food insecurity in Ithaca and Tompkins County. 2. Throughout the year, we also participate in Mobile Food Pantry visits through the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. As part of these visits, we help distribute food to community members in need. Most recently, we volunteered with the Mobile Food Pantry to distribute fresh produce and other grocery items at the Salvation Army in Downtown Ithaca. 3. During the Spring semester, we run our Big Red Food Drive. The Big Red Food Drive is our campus-wide food donation effort that encourages students to use the unspent BRBs they have at the end of the year to purchase non-perishable food items that we then donate to Tompkins County residents who are unable to obtain enough food for themselves. We also encourage students to donate excess food items from their dorm rooms and apartments to this end-of-year food drive.
