Yes, Penn State University provides many different interventions are in place to prevent or alleviate hunger among students and staff. For example:

The Food Support and Basic Resources website offers a range of resources. Hosted by Student Affairs, the resources include campus, community, and national resource links such as:

• The food pantries on all campuses are dedicated to supporting food insecure students and staff on campus. A listing can be found on the Food Support and Basic Resources website.
• Connections to a nearby food bank:
  • Feeding America: provides a list of food banks that support food insecurity nationwide.
  • Pennsylvania food banks by county (PDF)

In addition to resources, Penn State has contributed to knowledge about food insecurity. Penn State researchers, focusing on Pennsylvania, analyzed survey data to assess the most recent levels of household food security, how food security has changed over the course of the pandemic, and how households in different income brackets have experienced the crisis. They also assessed how families have adapted to food insufficiency by accessing free food and released their findings in a Data Brief titled “Pennsylvania Food Insufficiency Reached New High at the End of 2020.”
