The idea of college students with limited money surviving on Ramen noodles and domestic lager has become a common joke, but universities in Ohio take student food and housing insecurity seriously and many have built up programs to address the issues.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
“Not only is this only an effort and organization for food security, and you know humans, but also it’s great for sustainability and the environment,” Woodyard said.“With that food that is being recovered, we’re able to serve thousands of students, faculty, staff, and community members every year.” Another college that takes advantage of resources in the Akron-Canton area is The University of Akron.
Doehring said the University of Akron has served over 700 unique students through Campus Cupboard this semester. Since August, they have seen an uptick in the need for hygiene and laundry products along with the constant need for food. In both their Help-A-Zip program and Campus Cupboard they are seeing a 30% increase of students coming forward and letting the program know that they have a concern.
“I think that it would be remiss not to acknowledge the pandemic and the past two years and the variations of employment that people have experienced as another contributor. When you look at the demographics of the University of Akron students, we have a lot of students who sort of come from more of our local community. We have a good portion of pell eligible students and even under resourced students,” Doehring said.
