Across college campuses, thousands of students face the harsh reality of food insecurity, forced to choose between textbooks and their next meal. Behind the pursuit of education, many struggle in silence, not knowing where their next meal will come from. For these students, hunger isn’t just about missing a meal—it’s about missing the chance to succeed. No one should have to sacrifice their future because they can’t afford to eat today.
We partner with USC to learn from their student government and it’s our honor to ask for your partnership to help us contribute to the gamecock community shop.
