We love an all-women panel! Thanks @L_willen for moderating a great convo on student basic needs challenges with our director @AnneELundquist, Equitable Higher Education's Rashida Crutchfield and @SwipeHunger's Jaime Hansen.

On-campus food pantries can provide much needed immediate support for college students. We also need federal programs like #SNAP to help even more students nationwide access the resources they need to succeed. Hear more from our ED Jaime Hansen: hubs.la/Q026klnj0

Together w/ our partners @GiantFoodStores @MartinsFoodMkts, we’re awarding $300,000 in grants to 60+ campuses (the largest one-time gift in our history)! We presented the first of many grants to @shippensburgU's pantry, Big Red’s Cupboard! Read more: swipehunger.org/giant

Thank you @MassGovernor Maura Healey for approving the FY24 budget and approving $1M for the #HungerFreeCampus initiative! This is a big step towards ending campus hunger. #mapoli #endcampushunger @CollegeHungerMA

From just 1 campus in 2010 to now 600+ campuses in our network, we’re proud to be working alongside so many colleges to #EndStudentHunger! Our incredible growth wouldn’t be possible without this community — thank you all for driving our movement forward!

Biden’s student debt relief plan would’ve provided significant support to ease the financial burden of college for millions of families, especially in a time of increasing hunger & inequality in our nation. We stand with our partners in the fight to cancel student debt.
