Many college students spend their day running between classes, sport practices, and work shifts. With that, college students are more likely to be deficient in nutrients, vitamins, and macromolecules. To help lighten this burden on students, some colleges provide students with a food pantry that offers nutritious items at no cost. However, many students do not have the knowledge of how to make a nutritious meal out of the items provided. Therefore, social justice scholars at Cabrini University researched local food pantries and colleges to better understand their system of production and the items that are offered. Students created recipes that detail the nutritional value, ingredients, and steps that an everyday college student can create from their dorm room. The hope is that students who struggle with food scarcity can focus on their education and not on their next meal.
