Many people have asked us why we close the Pantry on Fridays now. Part of the answer is: We use this time to check dates on products, clean up, and restock. The other part of the answer is: We use this time to better educate ourselves on ways to continue serving our most needy students utilizing best practice strategies.

Today, we are in Roanoke attending the Annual Feeding Southwest Virginia conference, where we are celebrating 45 years of this agency's incredible impact on our region! Today, we will learn more about the true needs of the individuals we serve, build relationships with other food pantry services under the Feeding SWVA umbrella, discover strategic ways to develop community partnerships and acquire community support and funding, and more!

We look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday!

FUN FACT FRIDAY!!

Did you know? The consequences of food insecurity edition – Part 6: Lower College Graduation Rates!

Food insecurity doesn’t just affect physical health. It meaningfully reduces educational attainment. Among college students who experienced food insecurity, only 43.8% completed their degree, compared to 68.1% of food-secure students. That gap persists even after accounting for poverty level and whether students were first in their family to attend college.

Food-insecure students had roughly 43% lower odds of graduating from college. They were also significantly less likely to earn a bachelor's degree or a graduate or professional degree. The mechanisms are straightforward: food insecurity is associated with difficulty concentrating in class, lower GPA, higher rates of withdrawing from courses, and not returning the following year. For first-generation college students, the picture is especially stark. Less than half of first-generation students who were food insecure during college graduated, compared to about 59% of first-generation students who had reliable access to food.
