“Every single staff member in our department is all about student success.”įlowers hopes that talking about food insecurity causes all departments of ACC to want to get to know their students more beyond the ACCeID. “This is when conversations start to open up about their own struggles,” Flowers said. With all that the food pantry and distribution has to offer, Flowers recognizes how these ways to combat food insecurity also creates a bond between students in the community. In just this fall semester for the 2018-2019 school year, SL food pantry and food distribution served over one thousand students. In the 2017-2018 school year, 960 students were served by the SL food pantry, along with 700 pounds of donated food. After their selections, these students are able to receive assistance carrying these groceries back to their car or the bus stop. That ticket will tell them when to come out into the parking lot, where they are greeted by volunteers, reusable bags, and a line of tables with an abundance of food choices.Īs the student walks through the line, they receive two reusable bags for their items and can pick anywhere from chicken, canned goods, fresh produce, and even bread.

On the first Friday of every month starting at 9 a.m., students are able to walk into the student life lounge at the Riverside Campus and receive a ticket. Unlike the food pantry, food distribution provides a greater variety of groceries. Once you start talking about it and you’re in it, you get it.” “This is something that is just not talked about at all. “When talking to students even more, when they use the food pantry, when we wheel in the carts of food at the food distribution, the students are thankful that they don’t have to worry about groceries for that months,” Flowers said. “It’s surprising how many students aren’t aware of their opportunities.Īlcala believes that in order to combat these daily challenges, students must first get the conversation started about food insecurity. “I bring others as well they’re like, ‘I never knew about this!’ Alcala said.

Alcala states that he found out about student life and through word of mouth. Not only are many non-college students unaware of this prevalent issue, but also the students themselves. “It really did open up my eyes.”īefore the food distribution event, Flowers didn’t realize that food insecurity existed. “I looked up the logistics of how the setup would be and as I started to immerse myself more by reading articles and percentages of food insecurity,” Flowers said. At the beginning of October, ACC student life created a partnership with Central Texas Food Bank in order to encourage food distribution for ACC students on the first Friday of every month. In 2018, Flowers was asked to take on a project. At these food pantries, students who face food insecurity have the ability to get canned goods and other non-perishable items without a dollar sign associated with it. “Food insecurity does not look like anything, and it does not discriminate.”įlowers, who has been a part of Student Life for 14 years, oversees the food pantries located in the student life lounge of each ACC campus. “Sometimes you can’t even tell,” Student Life coordinator Jennifer Flowers said. Similar to these struggles, food insecurity is not always easy to identify. The gravity of food insecurity amongst students is often compared to issues such as homelessness, or not having enough funds to pay for education such as tuition and books. This can cause a practice of skipping meals and/or sacrificing food quality leading to unhealthy options that don’t provide the basic nutrients needed for a college student. About half of that number was said to run out of money at least three times in the year prior.įood insecurity is when someone able to afford a suitable amount of nutritious food. According to an ACC financial study done in 2018, 34% of students reported having food insecurity, while 61% were worried that they won’t have enough money to pay for school. “The average college debt is $37,123, so where does that leave money for students to buy their own groceries?” “College is so expensive, and it’s an investment,” Alcala said. Making the choice between paying for books, tuition, and transportation, housing can often appear more vital for students than a month’s worth of groceries. For 22-year-old ACC student, Damienn Alcala, this is more than just a statistic it’s a reality. Have you ever tried focusing in a class while your stomach was rumbling? 20-30% of students in the United States have reported eating less due to food insecurity. ACC students and student life members shed light on the silent issue of food insecurity amongst the school.
