In honor of World Food Day, CU Boulder is hosting a Swipe It Forward event in its dining centers on Oct. 16 to donate meal swipes to Buffs in need. If you don’t always use all of your meal swipes each week, or think you can spare a swipe from your block meal plan, this is the perfect opportunity to put them to good use to help fight food insecurity on campus.
Anyone with a weekly or a block meal plan can visit the C4C Dining Center, Village Center Dining, Alferd Packer Grill, The Alley, Sewall Dining Center or SEEC Cafe to participate in this initiative. Simply tell the cashier you'd like to donate a meal. One meal can be donated per person.
Don't have a meal plan, but still want to help? Donate here. Learn more about food assistance resources.
