Congress finds the following: In a December 2018 report which reviewed data from 31 studies on food insecurity among college students, the Government Accountability Office found that 22 of the 31 surveys estimated food insecurity rates of over 30 percent. Hunger threatens a student’s health, cognitive ability, and economic security. Institutions of higher education should strive to collect edible, surplus food from campus-operated dining facilities that would be thrown away and distribute such food to students experiencing hunger.
Institutions of higher education should partner with local organizations such as regional food banks to reduce hunger and support operation of food pantries on campus.
