Swipe Out Hunger
SWIPE OUT HUNGER MEAL SWIPE PROGRAM
is a national nonprofit committed to eliminating food insecurity for students on college campuses across the country. Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó has partnered with Swipe Out Hunger and to offer free meal swipes to students needing food assistance. Any Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó student may self-nominate themselves to request campus meal swipes from our Meal Swipe Bank, even if they do not live in the residence halls.
The Swipe Out Hunger application will reopen on Monday, August 18th, 2025.
Note: You must be enrolled as a current Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó student and cannot have an active meal plan to request Swipe Out Hunger meals. Each recipient can receive ten swipes per semester applied to their Lynx ID. Swipes cannot be transferred or utilized for anyone other than the approved Swipe Out Hunger recipient. Any unused swipes will roll over within the same academic year but will not roll over into a new academic year. Any incomplete applications will not be approved.
Where Can I Use My Meal Swipes?
Meal swipes may be used at either Ö÷²¥ÓÕ»ó Dining Hall - City Heights or Lynx Crossing during their operational hours. Please see the map below (circled in red). Please visit the page for more details.
