Ending student hunger
Empowering education
1 in 3 college students skip meals because they can't afford them. We believe no student should have to choose between food and education.

From campus leadership
What college leaders say
Dr. Larry Galizio
President and CEO,
California Community College League
While food pantries offer groceries, many students lack the facilities or time to cook, making a hot meal served by WFM often the only warm meal a student receives all day. WFM doesn't just provide nourishment—they build community. On behalf of all 116 California Community Colleges, I want to thank you for your work and urge you to continue, because you are having such a tremendous impact.
Lee Lambert
Chancellor,
Foothill–De Anza College District
What you do truly makes a difference in the lives of our students. We deeply value your support and look forward to continuing this partnership across California and throughout the United States.
Simon Pennington
Associate Vice President,
Foothill College
WFM's support in feeding our students is incredibly important because it helps them succeed faster and go on to make meaningful contributions to society.
Dr. Dickerson
Vice President,
Evergreen Valley College
Without food, cognitive thinking declines and students don't do well in school. Having a nourishing meal is always part of student success. Thank you for this partnership.
Teresa Ong
Vice President,
Foothill College
We are very grateful for the meals that World Food Movement brings to our campus.
WFMs impact on our community is amazing.
Nazy Galoyan
Dean of Enrollment Services,
De Anza College
We did not expect this to be so popular—we ran out of food! We are short of vegetarian food on the campus, and students love the food you are serving.
Grisel Vasquez
Program Coordinator,
De Anza College
It is amazing to have home-made meals like this for our students. I am so grateful for the opportunity our students have to be a part of this.

From the students
Stories from students we serve
It provides me with energy to study and be productive throughout the entire day. It made me incredibly happy that I have something to eat.
These delicious meals are nourishing and free, which are two things that can be difficult for some college students to acquire together. It gives me a morale boost and makes me feel ready to learn without having to worry if I'm going to be able to eat well today.
These meals make my college life better by saving money, reducing stress, and giving me more time to focus on my studies.
I budget my lunch every day as I really don’t have that much. I am really glad I came here and I am going to be full!
It definitely feels like home as if your mom is cooking for you.
I come to school on an empty stomach. I am grateful for this meal. It's definitely a highlight between classes for me.
