University of California – Los Angeles
Welcome Bruins!
About the program
Throughout the 10th week of each quarter, the UCLA Swipe Out Hunger team hosts a drive to allow Bruins to donate their unused meal swipes to support their classmates facing food insecurity. Students can donate unused swipes at the Swipe Drive tables or via an online form posted on the team Facebook page.
In the Fall 2018 Swipe Drive, Bruins donated a total of 13,500 swipes!
Are you experiencing food insecurity? To gain access to donated swipes and other resources, the first step is to complete the ECRT Self-Assessment Form located here. ECRT connects with students seeking support within 24-48 business hours from the initial request, and students who are approved can pick up meal vouchers at various locations, posted here. Check out the Campus Resources section below for contact information for ECRT.
