As student hunger persists at colleges, higher education tries out providing free food

Foxy’s Mobile Market hadn’t even opened yet, and the line to get free food in the Community College of Aurora parking lot already stretched 30 students deep. At the mobile market’s first visit of the new school year, students could grab potatoes, carrots, celery, Pringles, assorted canned goods, and some refrigerated meat. Staff members also lined up to help those students get connected to federal food assistance, transportation, and other school resources.
