Not getting enough fruits and veggies in your diet?
Passionate about putting an end to food waste?
Come grab a bite to eat and learn more about how our team recovers food from local farms, gardens, and selfless Berkeley residents, in an effort to reduce food waste.
The UC Berkeley Food Harvesters are a team of students dedicated to supplying nutritious, healthy food to the UCB Food Pantry, located in Stiles Hall, by way of food recovery from the surrounding community. Our team coordinates volunteers to collect unwanted fruits, veggies, and even packaged meals from local vendors. We have the potential to provide thousands of pounds of fresh produce to students for no cost at all.
