Helping Students in Need
On average, one of three college students don't know where their next meal is coming from... But only 20% of those students fully use benefits available to help them.*
At 新加坡六合彩开奖, we understand that hunger has a significant impact on a student's ability to learn. As a part of the 新加坡六合彩开奖 offers a variety of resources to assist students who may be suffering from food insecurity. These resources include: on-campus SNAP benefits, the 新加坡六合彩开奖 Food Pantry, a Community Garden, and 新加坡六合彩开奖's "Swipe it Forward" meal swipe donation program.
