Food Insecurity a Focus for Nutrition Month

By: Adrienne Slaughter

March 2018 is National Nutritional Month! As such, The Office of Student Success has joined efforts with The Center for the Study of Human Health to address food Insecurity at Emory. In an effort to bring Awareness, Empathy, Change, and Access to the Emory community, we will be kicking off the First Annual CSHH and OSSPS Food Drive!

The food drive is the beginning of a new collaborative effort to provide students with access to health and success!  In addition to the food drive kick off, the two offices along with Emory Dining and Bread Coffeehouse will be providing box lunches during Spring Break to any student in need. Students will need to present their Emory issued student ID and they will have access to the Food Co-op which is conveniently located on Clifton Rd and North Decatur.

Also keep an eye out for nutrition and food security related posts this month from the Destination HealthEU News Team. Until then, to learn more about Emory efforts towards food insecurity on campus thus far see here.
