About the program

At any point through the semester, students can donate up to 5 meal swipes per semester by completing this form. Staff and Faculty can donate meal swipes through Falcon Funds by completing this form. Donated swipes are active until they are claimed by someone requesting meal swipes. Undistributed meal swipes in the Swipe Out Hunger reserve do not expire at the end of the semester.

Are you experiencing food insecurity on campus? Students can request meal swipes by completing this form. Many questions about the way the program is structured are answered on the Bentley FAQ page. You can direct any additional questions to the Swipe Out Hunger Committee at swipeouthunger@bentley.edu.  Meal swipes are awarded and loaded onto students accounts within 48 business hours of the request.

Program Roots

A staff member on campus noted that there were members of the Bentley community that are food insecure. As a result of that, staff from the founding departments, came together to discuss feasibility and logistics of establishing a Swipe out Hunger program at Bentley. They ultimately formed a Swipe Out Hunger Committee, comprised of diverse stakeholders, to oversee the program. The program was launched in November 2020.

Get involved

At this moment, students can donate up to 5 meal swipes per semester.  If a student or staff is interested in getting involved with the program beyond donations, they can inquire by emailing swipeouthunger@bentley.edu.
