Program Description: Against the backdrop of growing systemic and structural inequities, lasting COVID-19 pandemic impacts, ending of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Emergency Allotments, and rising inflation, many college students are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table. The presenters will share their personal experiences dealing with food insecurity, research findings related to college hunger in the DMV area, and food assistance programs and services provided at 2- and 4-year public colleges and universities in Maryland to fight for food justice. Attendees will have the opportunity to brainstorm and identify possible solutions to end college hunger.
