CAROLINAS COLLEGE HUNGER SUMMIT – Oct 11 & 12

If Amazon doesn't have a Whole Foods grocery near you, there are non-perishable groceries ( food that doesn't spoil) that Amazon can ship to you

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
