Almost half of all students in higher education are food insecure, meaning that they lack reliable access to nutritious and healthy food. Food insecurity can negatively impact physical health, mental health, and academic performance. We can support needy UCI students by supporting the Fresh Hub Food Pantry right on campus.

No Anteater should have to choose between rent and food.

The Fresh Hub Food Pantry at UCI provides nutritious, affordable food and hygiene products to students on campus. We can help the Fresh Hub Food Pantry by showing student support for granting access to the kitchen attached to the food pantry. As of now, it's been left empty and unused. Granting the Fresh Hub access to the kitchen will allow the food pantry to keep providing resources to Anteaters dealing with food insecurity.

We want to show Aramark and student government that we support the Fresh Hub Food Pantry. Every petition signature can make a huge difference and brings us closer to our goal of getting kitchen access for the Fresh Hub. Opening the kitchen would concretely make a difference in addressing food insecurity on campus, and it would allow the Fresh Hub to explore other ways to support the UCI community.
