Congress Can End the College Hunger Crisis
Preview:
A college student may not be the face Americans picture when they think about hunger, but food insecurity has long been an alarming crisis in higher education. Nationally, nearly one in four undergraduate students, and one in eight graduate students, report low or very low food security, based on federal definitions. College hunger forces students to choose whether to pay for food or rent, take on higher and higher amounts of debt, or drop out of college altogether.
