Students are too preoccupied with assignments, work and life to figure out school resources.
UCR relies on students to do their job. At a CALPIRG meeting, I found out about the existence of the Grocery Support Program the school offers. What’s the point of having these resources when the students are unaware of their existence?
This is a recurring issue at the university, where many of the resources are talked about by students rather than the staff. The university should not leave this job up to students. Many students have to juggle their studies, work, extracurricular activities and internships to ensure that they are fit to be in the competitive work industry. It is unreasonable for students to be expected to find these resources while paying high amounts of money in tuition.

Dear Editor,
I will be the first in my family to live away from home next year, so learning that 6 out of 10 students experience food insecurity makes me nervous, mainly because students are not receiving the necessary resources for proper nutrition. As a first generation student, I wonder how many students skip meals to avoid another financial worry. Without a proper meal, students face another educational obstacle, and this is a problem that should be urgently addressed.
UCR can help students through affordable meal plans for undergraduate and graduate students. Instead of disposing of food, the campus can give it to students that cannot afford to buy an extra meal. R’ Pantry and R’Garden can take stronger initiatives to combat food insecurity by collaborating with the dining halls.

UTICA, N.Y. The college semester at Utica College is coming to an end, but unfortunately so is the end of the credit on some student’s meal cards. College officials know this because they see more student’s taking advantage of the food pantry at the college.
The Stop Hunger Campaign goal was to raise 500 meals for students who happened to run out of credit on their meal cards, and it didn’t take long before the college exceeded their goal.

Centre County YMCA Anti-Hunger Program 11:41 pm
The Centre County YMCA’s Anti-Hunger Program is continuing to put meals on the tables for thousands in our area. It was about a year ago when we stopped by the Moshannon Valley YMCA where they were collecting food donations. Now a year later, they’ve distributed tons of food. And this week, they have another busy week.
What began in the YMCA Gym became the Y’s Anti-Hunger Campaign, now with its own storage warehouse. Tuesday in Philipsburg, at the former bowling alley location on Enterprise Drive over 4,500 gallons of milk will be distributed as the need continues.
