Abstract

Join this presentation to learn how San Francisco State University took action to address food insecurity among students through innovative campus initiatives including, a student-run food pantry, leftover food notification app, Feed a Gator meal donation program and CalFresh enrollment assistance. Pulling from San Francisco State’s success in addressing food insecurity among a highly diverse student population in a large urban University, participants will have the opportunity to identify realistic strategies they can implement within their organization to support food security.
