INFO & RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS
Students are at the forefront of our work to end college student hunger.

TAKE OUR STUDENT SURVEY!
We need to hear from YOU and your peers! Our Annual Student Experience Survey is currently live! We’re gathering crucial data on students’ experiences with hunger and the impact of accessing campus anti-hunger resources. Your participation will help paint a national picture and directly shape the resources we provide. Submissions due January 15, 2025.
Campuses within the top 20% of participation will be entered into a drawing for a $500 mini grant for their anti-hunger programs (calculated by number of submissions divided by enrollment). Survey participants have the option to share their email to be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card through Gift-O-Gram! All answers will remain anonymous.
To spread the word, check out our Outreach Materials document where you’ll find printable flyers and language to use in emails/group texts!
