The Food for Thought campaign and Publix Super Markets volunteers recently stopped by a special food pantry that is helping students have one less worry, as they focus on their education at Broward College.
State Impact Florida
Broward College announced Wednesday that it received nearly $400,000 in grant funding to assist students who may be facing food insecurity. The Florida Blue Foundation granted the college $377,000 to use over the next four years to build three food pantries, one on each campus.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, the college had plans in the works to open a food pantry, but the efforts slowed down when campuses closed last March to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
