Bins are placed in various locations around campus: the entrance to the cafeteria; the food court next to Coyote Jack’s; the entrance of the campus book store; in the laundry facilities of Chandler Village and the New Residence Hall; in the lobbies of Dowden Hall, the New Residence Hall, and the Ghosh Science and Technology Building; and on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the LRC. Matt Kosanovich of Americorps Vista has joined the IUI team to work on hunger projects in Worcester County. Matt is working with the Worcester County Food Bank to find ways for the College to volunteer and help. He serves as the liaison for faculty, students and staff who want to participate at the Worcester County Food Bank to help those who are hungry. Matt will also be a liaison at Rachel’s Table and Brigham Hill Community Farm.
