Many college students face food insecurity and other basic-needs challenges. We are here to help.
Food Security Among College Students
Food security affects whether students have enough to eat and can maintain regular meals.
Low food security: food intake is reduced and normal eating patterns are disrupted due to lack of money for food.
When There Is Not Enough Money for Food
- 44%of students cut the size of their meals or skipped meals because there wasn’t enough money for food.
- 15%of students lost weight because there wasn’t enough money for food.
- 20%of students did not eat for a whole day because there wasn’t enough money for food.
