Support a student for 2 years, which is roughly $1,200. Imagine being 19, working a job, taking a full course load, and not knowing if you can afford lunch. One student told us: "I come to school on an empty stomach, but I am grateful for this meal."
Your gift gives one student 2 hot meals a week, for 40 weeks a year, for two years. That is long enough to earn a degree or certificate, and to know that someone in their corner made sure they were fed along the way.
For that student, it means:
One less thing to worry about
The focus to finish a lecture instead of watching the clock
A chance to stay in school instead of dropping out
Proof that their community sees them
How it works: the student signs up in 2 easy steps, scans a QR code, and picks up a fresh, hot meal on campus in under 10 seconds. No forms. No stigma. No cooking required.
Who you are helping:
First-generation college students, many from immigrant families
Working adults and single parents
Students who are becoming Silicon Valley's next technicians, healthcare workers, and tradespeople
The need is real:
48% of community college students are food insecure
43% less likely to graduate when hungry
The World Food Movement served 30K meals to 6,000+ students in campuses like De Anza, Foothill, West Valley, and Chabot. Another student said it simply: "I don't have to worry about being hungry."
That sentence is what your gift buys. Give $1,280 to carry one student all the way, or any amount to be part of someone's story. Teams and companies: sponsor a student for every employee, or a whole cohort.
