Comcast Cares Day takes place every April, but summer interns wanted to make change happen, too.

The Campus Kitchens Project teams with the General Mills Foundation to prepare healthy meals for the community from perishable food that would otherwise go to waste. It’s a connection that matters.

Many of us assume that the most pressing food issue on college campus is student nutrition. We think of college as a culture of late-night ramen and pizza. But we often forget that many college students don’t have enough to eat at all.
In fact, as many as two out of three students at community colleges are food insecure, according to a March 2017 report from Wisconsin’s HOPE Lab that was sponsored by the Association of Community College Trustees.
