With tight budgets and busy schedules, college students are particularly vulnerable to hunger, which can hinder their abilities to excel in the classroom and put them at greater risk of dropping out. We distribute food to a dozen campus pantries throughout the state and work with government to help enact long-term solutions to college hunger in New Jersey.
Last year, the FoodBank distributed more than 160,000 pounds of food through college pantries.
