SNAP Disruptions and Student Well-Being: How Campuses Can Respond
*UPDATE: Following discussions on November 3 and November 10 about SNAP disruptions and student well-being, Triple C is hosting a third statewide conversation on Tuesday, November 18 at 12 p.m.
Join us as we continue exploring how campuses can support students’ basic needs and mental health amid ongoing SNAP uncertainty.
Together, we’ll share updates, campus responses, and collective advocacy efforts to ensure students don’t go hungry.
With continued instability surrounding SNAP funding after the recent federal government shutdown, many Ohio campuses are seeing increased strain on students’ basic needs.
While national attention focuses on families and seniors, college students — especially those already facing food insecurity — are also deeply affected. Delays or reductions in SNAP benefits can lead to skipped meals, heightened stress, and difficult choices between food, housing, and academics.
Join Triple C on Tuesday, November 18 at 12 p.m. for our third virtual discussion on how campuses are responding to these challenges.
Together, we will:
- Identify campus and community resources supporting student basic needs.
- Share what campuses are hearing directly from students.
- Explore collective advocacy options to sustain SNAP access and support student well-being.
This open conversation is an opportunity to learn from one another and coordinate action in the weeks ahead. Find valuable resources from Triple C here.

Through this network, we continue to share best practices, advance advocacy, and promote initiatives like the Hunger Free Campus Action Center in partnership with Swipe Out Hunger. |
