Penn State Partnering With Swipe Out Hunger For Dining Dollar Donations

For the fourth straight year, Penn State is partnering with Swipe Out Hunger for its “Swipe Out Hunger” drive designed to help students with food insecurity from Sunday, November 17, to Saturday, November 23.

Penn State students at any residential campus can fund the Penn State Emergency Fund, which provides financial support and dining dollars for students in need, by donating $1, $5, $10, or $15  when they pay for their meal at any residential dining hall facility or when using mobile ordering. 

While the Swipe Out Hunger drive will run until Saturday, folks can continue to donate toward the cause until December 20.

Last year, donations for fall and spring from the University Park dining commons, HUB dining locations, and Commonwealth Campuses came to more than $45,000.

According to a 2022 survey, more than 14% of students at Penn State indicated they did not eat at least once in the previous month because they couldn’t afford food. Penn State Student Affairs has resources available for students facing food or housing insecurity. Students with an immediate need can complete the Basic Needs Request form to get started.
