Group looking to create food pantry for students
College students aren't known for having the healthiest diets. It's common to find them munching on the cheapest food they can find, or maybe just anything they can scrounge up from their pantry or from the various sources of free food passed out on campus. A lesser known fact is that there are actually students who have a real problem struggling to pay for food.
KU Fights Hunger is an organization of students, faculty and staff members who have an interest in hunger issues both locally and beyond the Lawrence community. The group helps bring people from around campus together to collaborate on raising awareness on hunger issues, and to figure out ways to help those in need.
KU Fights Hunger is currently conducting an online survey that it's asking anyone connected with the University to fill out. It will collect data about the number of people struggling to pay for food. This would also help to determine how great the need is for a food pantry on campus that would be available to whoever is living in a food-insecure environment.
Amanda Schwegler, assistant director of the Center for Civic and Social Responsibility, said a proper diet and good nutrition are essential for young college students who are not able to study as well or perform at their best if they're not getting

Schwegler said students who eat cheap foods that lack important nutritional value may end up hurting their performance in the classroom; KU Fights Hunger hopes it can make sure students are able to get the kind of food they need to do their best work.
Looking forward, KU Fights Hunger will decide upon its plans for the food pantry once all the results of the survey have been collected. The group will also try to get more people involved in the organization by promoting Hunger Awareness Month in October.
"There's the long-standing joke of students only eating Ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese in college because that's all they can afford to eat," Schwegler said. "I think a lot of people think, 'Oh, you're going
