Shastia Azulay

Did you ever wonder where the leftover food from your college’s dining halls was headed? Listen up to hear about how to save the food from your communities to feed more people. 

In this episode Shastia Azulay (recent ℅ 2023 Smith graduate) tells us all about how she saw immense food waste problem on campus and found a way to use her resources as a student to combat it. 

Shastia explains how you can see a problem, find a way to address it with your limited resources, and make a big impact with little. Shastia founded the Food Rescue Network that has successfully donated over $25,000 worth of meals to local shelters in Northampton. She discusses how she does it, how you can get involved in the food waste movement, and much more about her time at Smith and beyond. You’re going to learn all about how a big problem like food waste can be addressed in each and every community. 

Impacting the huge problem that is food waste seems insurmountable but Shastia proves how you can make a big difference in your community and start a ripple effect. Let Shatsia and Jen know that you listened by posting on one of our facebook groups about what you have done in your community to make a difference, no matter how little or big!

In this episode we cover noticing and addressing social issues in your community, pursuing your passions after graduation, and even living in Kazakhstan!
