Swipe Out Hunger is the leading nonprofit in addressing hunger among college students. The innovative approach allows university students to donate the unused funds from their meal plans to peers facing food insecurity. In 2017, Swipe Out Hunger was called upon to author a piece of legislation to address college student hunger. The state of California adopted the legislation and put more than $50 million behind it. This legislation has since been replicated in New Jersey and introduced in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
