Food insecurity is a prevalent issue facing many Washington State University students. Nearly 30% of students at four-year institutions have experienced food insecurity and 14% were affected by homelessness. In the spring of 2021, WSU students passed referendum 50-1 which added a $5 per semester fee for undergraduate students with the sole purpose of providing sustained funding for a campus food pantry to address student hunger. This fee that was passed by 75% of the student body has catapulted WSU's ability to address challenges associated with food insecurity in a systematic and sustained way. This amazing opportunity has allowed WSU to bring on an AmeriCorps member to hyper-focus on pantry operations, building out pantry policies and procedures, establishing food procurement systems, and supporting and managing pantry staff and volunteers.

Position Description:
This member will work with campus and community partners to support pantry programs such as cooking demos, resource referrals, and workshops; energize meal plan card-swipe program outreach and management; coordinate campus Pantry food drives; and support campus gardening and composting efforts.
