Cal Poly graduate turns school project into helping to feed the hungry

POMONA – Sitting on a mound of clothes in a van headed for Mexico was a frequent road trip Cal Poly Pomona graduate Jennifer Smith-Hollett took with her family. Her grandmother would take her grandchildren across the border two to three times a year to donate their secondhand clothes and toys to needy village families.
“I grew up with a strong sense of giving back,” Smith-Hollett, 24, said.
These acts of giving inspired her at a young age to continuously find ways to serve her community and speak up for those whose voices have been silenced.
Before graduating with a history degree and nonviolent studies minor last month, the La Verne resident designed a food distribution system that would feed hundreds of hungry people in Pomona.
Her 19-page class project was so well received by the university’s Ahimsa Center (nonviolent resource center) that she won $1,000 for the Bipin and Rekha Shah Ahimsa Award for the Outstanding Capstone Project. This award goes to a student with the best project finished by the completion of the minor.
Smith-Hollett’s food recovery program collects uneaten food from the university’s all-you-can-eat buffet at the Los Olivos Dining Commons and donates it to families and community agencies, like Pomona Homeless Resource Center and Pomona Valley Christian Center.
Los Olivos employees call Pamela Lynn, donation coordinator for the Pomona Valley Christian Center, to pick up the food which she delivers to low-income or homeless people in the area. The remaining food goes to local shelters.
