We’re incredibly proud of Evan Ehlers & @sharingexcess, a former ExCITe Seed Fund grantee! It’s amazing what @DrexelUniv students can do, esp. when you cross innovation with a deep commitment to civic engagement.
Regular produce distributions at @DornsifeCenter will start soon!

OMG. This is what innovative civic engagement looks like!
Evan Ehlers and @sharingexcess were at our @DornsifeCenter community dinner this week, distributing free produce to hundreds of community members. We’re incredibly excited their program will be at Dornsife twice monthly!

@TheCloseSchool alum Evan Ehlers was featured in a recent @MrBeast and @BeastPhilanthr video celebrating his non-profit organization, @sharingexcess, which has rescued and redistributed over 30 million pounds of food.
