Rowan College of South Jersey took part in five-day initiative against student hunger last month.
The Feed the Future: Fight Student Hunger initiative began on Sept. 22, part of a statewide effort that is itself the result of a partnership between the Future Alumni Support Team, the New Jersey Council of County Colleges and several state community colleges.
The initiative is the result of a 2025 survey of community colleges across the state by the Hope Center for College, Community and Justice, which is associated with the nonprofit Congressional Hunger Center. The survey showed 39% of respondees are food insecure.
“At Rowan College of South Jersey, we understand that a student's success is about more than just what happens in the classroom," said Dr. Benden Rickards, interim president of the college.
