Students ask for more food diversity, security

By MORGAN VUKNIC The Breeze

No student should go hungry.

This is the message of The Pantry, Jeremy Hawkins, the assistant director of the program, said. The Pantry is a resource for JMU students who face food insecurity or find nutritious food hard to access on campus.

While there are many dining options available for students, Hawkins said access to nutritious food is limited as students, especially those living on campus, mostly have access to the food at the dining halls that’s covered by their meal plans.

At the beginning of the fall semester, JMU Dining Services nixed several punch deals available on campus.
