Field Journal: Week 6

Thank you immensely to my research mentor, Professor Dragomir for guiding me throughout the project. Thank you for Columbia Undergraduate Research, especially Cat and Ariella, for this amazing opportunity. And a special thank you to everyone who shared with me their understanding or knowledge about food insecurity and food rescue!
