Hunger on our college campuses is a hidden and growing challenge with the number of students who face hunger ranging from 20% to over 40%. It is time to shine a spotlight on this critical issue.
Join us in October for two days of inspiring conversation, solution sharing, and action planning.
At the Carolinas College Hunger Summit you will:
-
Engage with students, higher education leaders, hunger advocates, and community leaders around the college hunger challenge
-
Increase your understanding of the issue and its ramifications
-
Learn about and share promising practices from campuses and communities in our home states and from across the nation
-
Work together to identify new strategies to combat the immediate impact and root causes of campus hunger
