Fueling Solutions. Strengthening Community. Ending College Hunger.

When we first announced the Southeast Convening on Ending College Hunger, our vision was to bring together leaders across the region who are advancing bold, student-centered solutions to food insecurity. Since then, the response has made one thing clear: this conversation is bigger than a single region. With growing interest from campuses, organizations, students, and partners across the country, Swipe Out Hunger is excited to share that this gathering is expanding into a national convening! Swipe Out Hunger invites students, campus leaders, nonprofits, funders, and community partners from across the country to gather for two days focused on connecting, learning, and action. Together, we’ll share what’s working, strengthen partnerships, and build momentum toward a future where every student has access to the food and resources they need to succeed.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
