Food Pantry Making a Difference for FHSU Students

Chase Willhite

Associate VP for Communication at the Kansas Health Foundation.

Abstract

Across Kansas, as students like Shane Keller face increasing economic challenges, food insecurity becomes an issue. But, with the help of a Kansas Health Foundation Healthy Living Grant, students at Fort Hays State University now have access to fresh fruits and vegetables through the Tiger Food Exchange. We would like to acknowledge the work and support on this project by Scenic Road Productions out of Roeland Park, KS. To learn more about this innovative program, please view the Health Happenings video.
