Swipe It Forward Before You Leave

Leaving campus soon?

Consider donating an unused meal to a student in need before you go! If you're on a meal plan and won't be using all of your meals this week, you can donate one by letting a cashier know you would like to "Swipe it Forward”. Donated unused meals will be provided to students who are facing food insecurity on campus.
