Ben ’17 and Will ’16 Collier

Brothers Ben ’17 and Will ’16 Collier are helping to send thousands of pounds of food waste to food banks through the FarmLink project, a grassroots movement they helped found. The nonprofit connects farms with the understocked and understaffed food banks, linking the two in a virtuous cycle, while 100% of monetary donations to FarmLink are used to pay the wages of farm workers and truckers. In just a few weeks, their project has taken off and made an impressive impact, with over 100,000 pounds of food transported to food banks and over $120,000 raised. In recent days they have established a breakthrough partnership with Uber Freight, which is providing logistics and transportation services.
