Why is the Campus Cupboard Needed?Short video about the Campus Cupboard. About one third of Normandale students are "food insecure," which means you don't have a limited or uncertain availability of sufficient food (2018 #RealCollege Survey by the Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice at Temple University). You can find out about the impact of the Campus Cupboard from our 2020-2021 End of Year Report. |
