Why We're Here
Food insecurity affects college students, including those at Xavier.
Campus research has found that:
- 29% of Xavier students surveyed experienced food insecurity.
- 41% of impacted students identified as first-generation students.
- 50% identified as students of color.
No student should have to choose between buying food, paying rent, purchasing textbooks, or continuing their education. The Store exists to help ensure students have access to the essentials they need to thrive.
