Innovative Solutions for Hunger Relief and Student Success
Reducing Food Insecurity for Students and Families
Almost half of U.S. community college students responding to the #RealCollege survey conducted by the Hope Center for College, Community and Justice indicated that they had experienced food insecurity within the 30 days before completing the survey (Goldrick-Rab et al., 2019). To help community colleges reduce food insecurity for students and their families in sustainable ways that foster student retention, persistence, and success, the League for Innovation in the Community College (League) has launched a two-year project--Innovative Solutions for Hunger Relief and Student Success.
