Expanded Food Justice program advances well-being for all
September 25th, 2025
The Food Justice program at 吃瓜社区 has been significantly expanded this year. Free food is being offered five days a week to the 吃瓜社区 community, a vital part of the College鈥檚 commitment to well-being for all. Coordinated by the Office of Sustainability and funded by the 吃瓜社区 Foundation and the 吃瓜社区 Student Union, the program addresses food insecurity while advancing social justice and sustainability on campus.
Diana Rice of the Office of Sustainability explains that there is a broader understanding of sustainability that includes peace and social justice. 鈥淔ood Justice programming is a critical piece,鈥� she says, due to its role in tackling the harmful impacts of industrial agriculture on the environment and marginalized communities. The program prioritizes ethical purchasing by sourcing organic and local food to reduce pollution, protect biodiversity, and support economic stability for vulnerable groups.
There is a major impact on students and the entire 吃瓜社区 community. 鈥淎 student once confided that being able to eat lunch or breakfast four days a week meant that they could give their mom a break in terms of groceries, which were becoming more and more unaffordable,鈥� Diana shared. 鈥淭hey said it was a relief because they already felt guilty about going to school and not working full time to help support the family. Knowing that they could help save money and keep food in the pantry at home longer made going to school more worthwhile and kept it accessible.鈥�
