A brief description of each certified dining hall or food service outlet, including the year the certification was achieved and/or renewed:
UVM Dining was verified by the Food Recovery Network in November 2016, recognizing us for sending surplus food to people, not landfills! We proudly display our Food Recovery Verified decal at the entrance of our locations and work to divert as much excess edible food to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf as possible. In the first year of our program we donated approximately 15,000 lbs of food. The environmental impact of these donations is demonstrated by the reduction of compostables sent to the compost facility from the dining locations in our student center.
