Student Advocates for Nutrition (SAN) and the Health Policy Student Association are exited to host an advocacy letter writing workshop regarding college campus food insecurity. This is important because 30% of UM students struggle with food insecurity in someway and COVID-19 has only exasperated the problem. We will teach what exactly food insecurity is, what it looks like at the University of Michigan, and how we can address it through advocacy. Attendees will leave this event with a crafted letter to send to your your state representatives targeting House Resolution 0251. This resolution urges the United States Department of Agriculture to grant a federal waiver to temporarily suspend the rules that make college students ineligible for SNAP (food stamps) benefits. This is an event open to all UM community members.
