Grayson College Secures Grant from Swipe Out Hunger to Combat Student Food Insecurity
Grayson College has received a $4,000 grant from Swipe Out Hunger, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating food insecurity among college students. This funding will bolster the college's efforts to provide nutritious food through Vic's Market, its on-campus food pantry, from November 2026 through May 2027. The grant aims to remove barriers to student success by ensuring access to essential food resources. In addition to the financial award, Grayson College will join the Swipe Out Hunger Network, gaining access to operational guidance, professional development, discounted food supplies, and a nationwide network of over 1,000 campuses. This partnership will facilitate collaboration and the sharing of strategies to enhance campus food assistance programs. Vic's Market is part of Grayson College’s broader Grayson Cares program, which supports students beyond academics by addressing basic needs.
