When low-income college students can focus on their studies, instead of worrying about how to afford their next meal, they are much more likely to succeed.
After pausing for a bit during the past year, this service is beginning to start up again.
We partner with local colleges to provide food to low-income students who struggle to balance the high costs of education and affording basic needs. Eligible students can access free, fresh produce and other groceries on a weekly basis. By providing food right on campus, we make it easy for students to drop in, pick up food, and get back to the hard work of pursuing their education.
We partnered with
6 colleges
to host food pantries
We served over
995 students
each week
