College students, stressed about federal food aid uncertainty, look to campuses for support
U. S. college students who receive federal food aid are looking to their campuses for support because the program known as SNAP is in limbo during the government shutdown. Colleges are spreading awareness about food pantries and handing out free meals to students. A tribal college in North Dakota is hosting ‘Soup Tuesdays’ and providing students with meal kits. A university in New Mexico is asking people to donate to the campus food pantry. And a college in Sacramento is considering increasing grocery pop up events where students can access free produce.
