Wellesley earns 2018 Environmental Merit Award

This week, the Environmental Protection Agency awarded Wellesley College with a 2018 Environmental Merit Award for its work in the non-profit partnership “Food For Free.” Wellesley joined the “Food For Free” partnership this past February, along with Babson College, Bentley University, Olin College of Engineering and multiple public elementary and middle schools in the town of Wellesley. The purpose of “Food For Free” is to collect excess food from places like Wellesley College and deliver it to individuals in need. Since joining the partnership in February, Wellesley has donated an estimated 600 pounds of food. The college is projected to donate 2,000 pounds of food by the end of the academic year.
