As COVID relief efforts continue to disproportionally impact college students –specifically adult dependents – more and more students are facing food and housing insecurity.
Roughly 39% of college students reported food insecurity this past year, according to an annual survey conducted across 227 collegiate schools by Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice at Temple University.
Vermont has implemented measures to address those facing food insecurity as a result of the pandemic and students are no exception.
“Everyone Eats” is a food-relief program that partners with local restaurants and farms to make individually packaged, cold, prepared dinners for anyone suffering adverse effects from the COVID pandemic.
