Students received fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat products, as well as non-perishable foods, twice a month. Baseline and 10-week data were collected. Food security was measured using the United States Department of Agriculture 6 question survey. Nutrient intake and number of food group servings were analyzed using 3-day food records. Paired t-tests were performed (SPSS v25) to assess changes from baseline to 10-weeks. Significance was set at an alpha of 0.05. At 10-weeks, there was a significant increase in intake of protein, niacin, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium intake, and in servings of vegetables.application/pdfenCollegeFood insecurityFood securityFood scholarship programUniversityThesis2019-11-13
