Swipe Out Hunger
Belmont University is proud to partner with Swipe Out Hunger, a national initiative that helps combat food insecurity on college campuses. As well as our dining partners, Sodexo. Through this program, students facing food insecurity can receive up to 25 donated meal swipes, which can be used at Harrington Place Dining Hall, providing reliable access to nutritious, no-cost meals.
How You Can Help:
Students with meal plans who have unused swipes are encouraged to donate them to support fellow Bruins in need. Your generosity can make a difference in the life of another student. Donate here!
