Thank you to Professor Pitarresi for welcoming the MOP team to the classroom last week! ✏️📚

Chris and Christina walked the students through an activity known as “reverse brainstorming” where we try to find a solution to the opposite problem that we want to solve, and then reverse it. This helps with thinking outside of the box when you’re in a rut. The students came up with some great ideas- check out the resulting affinity map!

Thanks, students, for wanting to help us reduce waste at the end of the year (even though Waste Olympics sounds kinda fun?)

During our May 2023 collection cycle, we received over 18,000 pounds of donations from students, and were able to distribute nearly all of it to our community donation partners. Bearcats, you are AWESOME!

Some folks we talked to at #UFest were surprised to learn that clothing was our biggest donation category this year, coming in at a whopping 4,440 pounds! Comment down below if you’re surprised where any of these categories fall in the ranking 👇

#UFest was a success! We had a great time chatting with so many new and returning bearcats about how to reduce their waste at the end of the year. Special thanks to Anthony and Christian who helped spread the word about our #binghamtonu gear giveaway! We were out by 1pm! 💚♻️

Last month, our very own Chris Harasta traveled to

Last month, our very own Chris Harasta traveled to Colorado to receive the 2023 Heroes of Everyday Life® award from the Sodexo Stop Hunger Foundation. This is a prestigious award given to 5 Sodexo employees across the country who go above and beyond to help combat food insecurity.

Not only is Chris a full-time Sodexo manager while working tirelessly to coordinate the Move Out Project all year round, but he is involved with many other community initiatives all aimed at bridging his passions of sustainability and food security, making him the perfect candidate for this award. Read more about the award and Chris’ work at the link in our bio.

You’re OUR hero, Chris. Thank you for all that you do.

Happy Mother’s Day from the MOP team 💐💛 M

Happy Mother’s Day from the MOP team 💐💛

Many of our wonderful volunteers are mothers, and being in the thick of the project, there was still work to be done today.

Our Logistics Coordinator, Chris, had the lovely idea of setting up a surprise Mother’s Day brunch so that even though we had to work today, our MOP mothers would know they are appreciated. Chris and Juniper arrived early to whip up a delicious meal on a stovetop brought from home. And thanks to our student donors, we were able to set up a beautiful tabletop with all of your donations right in our sorting facility! (complete with a Halloween table cloth 🤣)

Thank you MOP mothers for all that you do 💛

Phew! It’s been a busy few days for the MOP team

Phew! It’s been a busy few days for the MOP team. 10 tents, 3 truckloads of donations, and 40+ dedicated volunteers.
