Macaulay Honors at City CollegeOUR FOUNDING STORY
Founded by Rachel Sumekh and her friends at the University of California Los Angeles in 2010, Swipe Out Hunger is now the leading national nonprofit working to end college student hunger. Its original model is the Swipe Drive, which enables students to donate their extra meals to their peers facing food insecurity on campus. From there, Rachel and her growing team scaled this program to other campuses, centering student voices and action in the national conversation to end college hunger.

Rachel grew from a shy college student into a national leader and an expert on college hunger and basic needs. Her work with Swipe Out Hunger has been recognized by The Obama White House as a “Champion of Change,” and the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Under her leadership, Swipe Out Hunger has evolved from one student-led organization to the systems-changing nonprofit we are today.
