Food insecurity is more than hunger. It is an individual’s or group’s inability to “provide enough food for every person to live an active, healthy life” (Feeding America, 2020). Many University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) students have indicated experiencing food insecurity. The UMB Student Pantry collects donations throughout the year.
