Our Team

The Love Your Food Team 

We are a tri-municipal group of residents, along with the Town of Mamaroneck and Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck, who pursued this grant and are volunteering our time because we believe that reducing wasted food can help slow down climate change, conserve natural resources and promote food security. We also believe it’s more fun doing it together than alone. We’re glad you’re here!

Tom Murphy is the Mayor of the Village of Mamaroneck. He knows that folks who live alone often buy more food than they need, so he doesn’t shop while hungry and eats his leftovers.

Karen Khor helped secure this grant by facilitating the collaboration of the tri-municipal community with the Mamaroneck Union Free School District. She also spearheaded food scrap recycling in our Town and helps coordinate efforts with the school district. Karen packs lunch for her daughter that matches her preference so no food gets wasted.

Arlene Novich is a high school equivalency teacher who also co-coordinates our farmers market community outreach on Saturdays. She turned a Mother’s Day gift of potted lettuce into a garden “crop” that she harvests as needed, so none gets spoiled in the refrigerator bin.
