OUR WORK
Swipe Out Hunger is the leading national nonprofit powering the movement to end college student hunger. We collaborate with colleges, legislators, and the greater community to address student food insecurity by:
Championing Solutions
Our solutions are centered around two strategies: on-campus food access as well as increased state-level support through advocacy. Through our campus partnerships and national reach, we will uplift successful on-campus solutions that exemplify how to drive meaningful change within states.
Building an Active Network
We will connect students, university leadership, and elected officials to foster a transformative and collaborative ecosystem that activates our collective power. Coalition building will facilitate collaboration and consolidate approaches to achieve bigger, greater wins over time.
Evolving the Narrative
We seek to replace outdated frames with perspectives grounded in the lived experiences of students and those who are directly affected. By amplifying the voices of students closest to the problem, we can reshape cultural norms and narratives and galvanize a national values shift in how student hunger is perceived and prioritized.
“The issue is now more legitimized by partnering with Swipe Out Hunger. And we’re getting a lot more steam behind the initiative of addressing student hunger.”

THE ISSUE
At first glance, a college campus might look like a place of equal opportunity – communal dorms, shared dining halls, similar course loads. However, arriving on campus doesn’t mean students’ basic needs are being met. One in three students faces food insecurity nationally, affecting their ability to focus in class, stay in school, and feel part of the campus community. Check out more evidence and research here.
