OUR IMPACT
STUDENT HUNGER IS REAL.
WE CAN HELP END IT.
In the 2018 – 2019 school year, we grew our campus partners by 82%
and expanded to eight new states.
48% of those we serve are 1st generation students.
52% of students who we serve agree swipes improved their grades.
After receiving meal swipes 1/2 of students no longer worry food
will run out.
By receiving free dining hall passes, I have been
able to nourish my body as needed instead of
skipping meals or resorting to a ramen diet.
OUR THEORY OF CHANGE
After an effective campus meal share program is adopted…
- HIGHER EDThe Higher Ed space will move closer towards becoming
a true platform for equity and equality. - MOVEMENTThe college basic needs movement will gain greater
momentum. - CAMPUSThe campus will achieve higher retention and graduation rates
and become more inclusive as a whole. - STUDENTStudents will experience improved health and nutrition, less
stigma and isolation, and increased academic wellbeing.
