Hunger Free Campus

The Hunger Free Campus Act was passed in 2019 by the Minnesota State Legislature. The Act established the Hunger Free Campus Designation requirements for community and technical colleges in the Minnesota State System. In order to be awarded the Hunger Free Campus Designation, there are five eligibility requirements. These five requirements compliment Hennepin Tech’s goal of student persistence and retention.

Hunger Free Campus Designation Requirements

• Establish a partnership with a local food bank to provide regular, on-campus food distributions
• Provide information to students on SNAP, MFIP, and other programs that reduce ​food insecurity;​
• Hold or participate in one hunger awareness event per academic year;​
• Have an established emergency assistance grant that is available to students;
• Establish a hunger task force that meets a minimum of three times per academic year

Hennepin Tech students were surveyed using the #RealCollege survey in 2019. The survey found that 40% of Hennepin Tech students are food insecure, which means they do not have a steady source of food or cannot afford to feed themselves or their families.
