About the program

On World Food Day, Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, and National Volunteer Week, students can donate up to two swipes from their meal plan by semester by stopping by tables in the dining halls. Swipes are then redistributed to students facing food insecurity on campus.

Are you facing food insecurity on campus? Schedule an appointment with Student Assistance and Support Services by calling 704.687.0289 and check out our Campus Resources section below.
