The REEF Support Center and Aramark Dining Services offer a Guest Meal Swipe Bank to be used by students who experience inconsistent access to food.
Who is eligible?
Students who are eligible to request from the Guest Meal Swipe Bank are students with a demonstrated need (do not have consistent access to food during the semester).
How does the Guest Meal Swipe Program work?
Aramark Dining Services provides residential meal plans with 10 Guest Meal Swipes. Students who are enrolled in a meal plan can donate their guest meal swipes to our “bank” to be utilized by other residential and commuter students who are facing temporary food insecurity or who may request meals and points based on need.
Please note: This program is not a replacement for a meal plan but an additional method to increase student access to food. We encourage commuter students to meet with the REEF Support Center for additional resources and more permanent solutions.
Donate Meals
Students enrolled in a residential meal plan may donate 1-10 of their Guest Meal Swipes each semester by completing our donation form. We rely on donations from fellow students to keep the Bank running!
