Emory University | Welcome Eagles! - Swipe Out Hunger: Student Hunger is Real

About the program

During the first few weeks of the school year, an email is sent to all meal plan A and K students with a link they can use to donate a guest swipe to support students facing food insecurity. The Office of Student Success then redistributes swipes to students facing food insecurity. In addition, at the end of each school year, students can donate their leftover “Dooley Dollars” to the annual Dooley Dollar Drive, at Cox Hall, White Hall, Peet’s, the SAAC Cafe, or any Swipe Out Hunger Table. These Donated Dooley Dollars also provide support for students struggling with food insecurity on campus.

Are you experiencing food insecurity on campus? Students can request meals by filling out this application. Check our Campus Resources section below for more information on the Bread Coffeehouse pantry on campus.
