Food Insecurity Resources for Students

The PRiSM community is deeply concerned about the reality that nearly half of undergraduate students do not have reliable access to nutritious food.  A recent survey at NYU reported that approximately 20% of NYU students have trouble affording food.  If you or someone you know is having trouble accessing meals or groceries, you are not alone.
