Food Insecurity Survey

This survey will take about 2 minutes to complete.

FOOD INSECURITY
(food in·se·cu·ri·ty), n.
Food insecurity is the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, or the ability to acquire such foods in a socially acceptable manner. The most extreme form is often accompanied by physiological sensations of hunger.

This past fall, George Fox University started Bruin Community Pantry in an effort to address the issue of food insecurity.

Please take a few minutes to answer these questions. Your answers will help us determine what steps we need to take in the future.

Add your name and email to the end of the survey if you wish to be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card OR a $50 Grocery Outlet gift card.

Your choice!

Deadline for this survey is Friday, April 26th, 2019.

Please contact Jere Witherspoon if you have any questions.

1 in 5 college students are hungry and lack sufficient access to food. Food insecurity cuts across all demographic statuses, enrollment levels, and geographic locations. Empty cupboards and scraping by are a way a life for many students. These stressors affect student success and in the long term, impact learning, grades, graduation, and time to degree. By addressing food insecurity on campus, you can serve a human service and an educational need.
