According to a recent study conducted by the Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice at Temple University (The Hope Center | For College, Community, and Justice (hope4college.com), 45% of college students struggle with hunger. In that same study, students struggling with hunger reported "an overbearing concern of when they are going to eat next," "inconsistent energy," "lack of mental concentration," and "going to class day after day distracted by hunger and a rumbling stomach." There are over 650 food pantries on college campuses. Learn more about the SU Food Pantry at: Food Pantry | Food Security Initiative | Office of Multicultural Affairs | Seattle University.
"Hungry to Learn" is a recent documentary that shines a light on the long-ignored experience of food insecurity. https://soledadproductions.com/hungerfilm.
