In 2017 I read an article in a University alumni magazine about a School of Public Health graduate student, Rebecca Leighton, who had learned that a little over 27% of the students at the U of MN Twin Cities campus were either hungry (10.2%), or were worried that they’d run out of food before having enough money to buy more (17.5%). It came from the 2015 student health survey.* When Rebecca read the survey, she immediately set about getting money from the student council to buy vegetables — to give away. When she graduated shortly afterwards, Boynton Health Center hired her and gave her a budget to create and run a campus food shelf.
