Despite a Yale College Council resolution calling on Yale dining halls to donate leftover food to local homeless shelters, campus dining halls have largely been unable to do so.

After tracking students' dining habits, ordering less food, and recycling leftovers, most campus dining halls have virtually nothing left to throw away or give to local kitchens. The October YCC resolution gave rise to the Bringing Relief Every Day program, or BRED, which initially diverted leftover dining hall food to New Haven's temporary homeless shelter, Tent City.
