"Word has it that some of the individual House kitchens know they should be saving food, but just haven't had enough to save," Chen said.
Renovations have already been completed in Eliot, Kirkland, Lowell and Winthrop dining halls, four river Houses that UniLu depends upon to feed the temporary residents of the shelter.
"The renovated food halls are producing food in a new way--in small batches--so they are producing less food and don't have as much left over," Miller said.
The University plans to eventually renovate all the dining halls. All food would then be prepared in smaller batches, minimizing the amount of leftovers.
A reduction in leftover food would be a major problem for the shelter, which depends on HUDS for food to feed shelter residents.
Miller said HUDS would continue to support UniLu even if the amount of leftover food became negligible, but would not specify how.
"I don't know yet [what we would do] because we have not yet crossed that bridge," he said. "I will say that as the shelter needs supplies we will help to find supplies for the shelter."
