Students do not have enough food to feed themselves and sometimes their families as well. We created the College and University Food Bank Alliance (CUFBA) to provide support, training, and resources to campus-based food banks/pantries and other food-insecurity initiatives that primarily serve students. Starting with a membership roll of just 15 schools in 2012, CUFBA has grown to more than 650 members.\u003Cbr>Building a pantry program at a college often means addressing bureaucratic and systemic challenges unique to college campuses.

We facilitated this report to deepen our understanding of campus pantries by exploring the many ways that these programs are being implemented. By learning how they are structured, resourced, and managed, we can build capacity in the field that will facilitate the growth of campus pantries while laying a foundation for ongoing research into their efficacy.\u003Cbr>This report demonstrates that significant financial, physical, and personnel resources are being invested in campus pantries. The CUFBA members who participated in this survey helped to shed needed light on the work involved in operating pantries and offered valuable insight into how to improve them. For that we are grateful.\u003Cbr>|\n\n1  \nINTRODUCTION  \n\n| |\n| --- |\n| Volunteers help pack and prepare foods at the Fresno State Student Cupboard. |\n\nCurrent estimates suggest that as many as half of American undergraduates experience food insecurity while pursuing college degrees.1 Defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as the“limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, or the ability to acquire such foods in a socially acceptable manner,” food insecurity is associated with reduced academic performance and lower rates of degree completion.2 Growing recognition that food insecurity must therefore be addressed in order to promote both educational attainment and individual wellbeing has led to the creation of hundreds of food pantries located on college campuses around the nation.3  \nHow are these food pantries organized and implemented? What types of food and other resources do they provide to students? What do they cost to operate and who staffs them? Answers to these pragmatic questions are needed by practitioners seeking to set up or improve pantries. They also provide necessary context for efforts to help students access affordable food on campus. For example, it appears that only a small fraction of food-insec","cbCaiq491EUOFsOC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq491EUOFsOC","pdf",759275,12,"English","# Top Five Takeaways\n# Introduction\n## Food insecurity on campuses\n## Research questions and needed context\n## Purpose and collaboration\n## Implications for practice and policy","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of this national survey on campus food pantries?\",\"answer\":\"The survey examines how campus food pantries are organized and implemented, including the resources they provide, how they are staffed, and their operating costs.\"},{\"question\":\"How many campus pantries and states were included in the survey?\",\"answer\":\"The report includes information from 217 pantries in 40 states.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges are most commonly faced by campus pantries?\",\"answer\":\"The most common challenges are insufficient funding, food supplies, and volunteers.\"}]","CAMPUS FOOD PANTRIES - INSIGHTS FROM A NATIONAL SURVEY - September 28, 2018 - Top Five Takeaways | PDF",1792052511]
