On Wednesday, Oct 18, 2023, the first-ever College Food Security Summit, hosted by Medgar Evers College Transition Academy and Food Bank For New York City, united a diverse group of academic, community, and government partners about our collective work to empower college students to achieve food security for good.
The day was filled with panel discussions, take-action activities, and networking opportunities to foster a greater dialogue and collaboration about how to combat college hunger. Attendees pledged to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for legislation that improves access to essential programs and funding. Together, we strive for a brighter, more equitable future for college students facing food insecurity.
