Donating Dining Dollars
The word manah comes from
the Abrahamic tradition sod
refers to food that the Israelites
were ahie to pull from the sky
when they were hungry. But for
a new student group on campus,
the word is more than just ahbib-
lical reference.
Founded this semester
by LSA freshman Michelle
Rubinstein, Michigan 'Against
Neglecting Ann Arbor Hunger,
better known as MANAH, is a
student organization that works
to put students' unused Dining
Dollars to good use for the com-
munity.
"tt has that type of meaning
for people here who are hungry
and can just pull food from us
because we're able to help them
out with our leftover funds," she
said.
MANAH plans to pool
together leftover Dining Dollars
from students' meal plans at
the end of the semester and use
them to purchase food for local
food banks.
"I thought that since every-
one, or the great majority of
people who purchase the meal
plans have those extra dollars
left over at the end of the year,
that we can use them in a bet-
ter way so that we could pur-
chase packaged goods that food
shelters in the Ann Arbor area
need," Rubinstein said.
Dining Dollars are part of
University Housing's meal plan
options that can be used at con-
venience stores and cafes located
in residence halls like Victor's,
the Hideaway and Ciao Down
Pizzeria. The dollars expire at
the end of each academic year
and are non-refundable.
"Food pantries (can put them
to use) instead of (students) just
not spending them so that we
are helping people, especially
with the state of the economy,"
Rubinstein said.
In addition to providing those
in need with food, the club aims
to provide students with a way
to determine where their left-
over money is going, Rubinstein
said.
The tO-member organization
is currently in the process of
contacting local food shelters to
figure outchow the club can most
effectively serve their needs.
"We know that Michigan has
been hit the hardest and there's
so many people struggling just
to get food on the table for their
families," she said. "So if we have
these leftover resources, why not
reinvest them in the community
that we live in to better help the
people that are struggling?"
