Why Social Movements Require Entrepreneurial Values
Blue Avocado
From our beginnings more than ten years ago, Swipe Out Hunger was designed to be anything but a traditional charity. Rather than running the same program each year, we learn and adapt our work—from acquiring other nonprofits to writing legislation that moves us closer to actually ending the issue of college student hunger. While more and more in our sector push for real systems change, here are three practices that could advance your justice work.

Swipe Out Hunger is the leading national nonprofit committed to ending college student hunger. Swipe promotes on-campus solutions, policy and advocacy, and community building practices to address college food insecurity. It works with colleges and universities to support their anti-hunger efforts, including campus food pantries and programs like the “Swipe Drive” which enables students to donate meals to their peers facing food insecurity on campus. Recognized for its entrepreneurial nature, Swipe Out Hunger has been named an Obama White House Champion For Change and its founder, Rachel Sumekh, has landed a spot on the Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list. From its beginnings as a grassroots movement at UCLA in 2010, Swipe Out Hunger has since served 4.8 million nourishing meals across more than 550 campuses in all 50 states and Canada.
