This petition is to have Ohio University change their meal plan policy to allow students who have Standard Meal Plans to donate their unused meals in campus markets. Those meals would go to local food pantries and help the people of Southeastern Ohio.
I have been meeting with student leaders to draft a formal proposal regarding the unused meal credits. The stories I hear from classmates struggling with food insecurity confirm exactly why this shift is necessary for our community.
October 7, 2014
Seeing this momentum grow reminds me of how many hungry families in this region could finally have a reliable dinner on their table. It feels surreal to watch this idea gain traction when I remember how often I worried about my own next meal during my first year here.

RIDICULOUS that my unused meals just vanish at the end of the week. let us donate them to the community instead of throwing money in the trash.
