<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">The Student Nutrition Access Center at Utah State University is located on the third floor of the Taggart Student Center. It is a free resource that provides students access to nutritious foods with a goal of reducing food insecurity and waste. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">The 2021 </span><span data-contrast="none">Food Security Survey of Higher Education Students</span><span data-contrast="none"> in Utah</span><span data-contrast="none"> showed over a third of students at USU experienced food insecurity within the previous year. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Kara Bachman, the food security program coordinator for the Center of Community Engagement at USU, defined food insecurity as lacking “access to enough food or enough culturally appropriate nutritious food.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">According to Bachman, college habits like eating ramen for every meal, not going grocery shopping or skipping meals entirely have become normalized despite being unhealthy.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">“Those are things that I would consider not normal,” Bachman said. “It’s normal to eat enough food that is fueling you to have a satisfying and fulfilling life.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">SNAC has seen an increase in visitors over the past few years. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">In 2021, SNAC received 9,753 visits — an increase from 3,482 visits in 2017, but a decrease from 10,011 visits in 2020. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">While there has been an increase in visitors, Bachman clarified this does not necessarily mean food insecurity at USU has increased. The increase may demonstrate students have become more aware of the resources provided at SNAC. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">The same 2021 survey also showed over 60% of students at USU are aware of what SNAC offers. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">“I think the reason we’re growing could be more marketing and visibility,” Bachman said. “We would love to see that number closer to 100.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">USU junior Ellie Miller has noticed how helpful SNAC is for students. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">“SNAC is a really great idea because there are a lot of people here on campus who can’t necessarily afford having food,” Miller said. “It’s just a great opportunity to make sure that they eat.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Along with the growth in the number of students utilizing its resources, SNAC has seen growth in its operations.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">SNAC started in a closet on the third floor of the TSC, its few volunteers stacking cans on old bookshelves.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Since then, SNAC has moved to a larger space and increased the scale of their food collection. The most recent change was transforming the Val. R. Christensen Service Center into the current location. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Pandemic funding allowed for this transformation with more sinks, metal tables, a fridge and a freezer.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">“It’s hard for people to see how far it has come,” Bachman said. “We’re always trying to improve, even though some things can be really challenging, like the funding piece.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">SNAC buys close to 1% of the food they distribute. A majority of the food comes from collecting donations. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Cache Community Food Pantry and the Utah Food Bank donate food items frequently. Weekly donations usually amount to over 2,000 pounds of food.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Fresh produce is also donated through gleaning and local farmers. USU Dining Services and Kneaders Bakery &amp; Cafe donate unsold bread, bagels and desserts. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Bachman says donations are important to SNAC because the organization doesn’t receive funding through student fees and is not financially supported by any department. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">“We know that eating good food is important and SNAC wants to be there for that, but it’s hard when we’re not funded,&#8221; Bachman said. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Bachman said although SNAC finds it difficult to keep up with the demand, they still work to provide a variety of food choices.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">“We like to hold the basics,” Bachman said. “We also like to carry other items that are culturally appropriate or meet the needs of individuals with medical conditions.&#8221;</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">These include gluten-free options, alternative kinds of milk and meat alternatives.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="none">Bachman suggested students get involved at SNAC through volunteering, spreading correct information, donating money and encouraging others to donate. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Student Nutrition Access Center is a resource for all Utah State University students to get any food they may need. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Located on the third floor of the TSC, SNAC has food ranging from cereal to fruit to macaroni and cheese. And unlike a grocery store, it’s all free.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We’re here to support people who have $6 in their bank account,” said Kara Bachman, the SNAC Food Security Program coordinator. “We’re here to support people who need a little bit of extra groceries for the week, we’re here to help people eat more nutritious food.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because SNAC is not funded through the university, they have to come up with money themselves. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This has led the organization to create a fundraiser open year-round. However, it’s an annual tradition to advertise and push for donations every March.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their goal is to reach $15,000, although Bachman said their need is much higher than that. At the time of publication, they had raised $690.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And knowing that it’s hard to ask college students for money, Bachman said they can still promote the fundraiser.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The best thing they could do is share the link to donate with family, friends that may be able to donate,” she said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But as far as what they use the money for, it’s not to pay for their food. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Cache Community Food Pantry donates the majority and, according to Bachman, SNAC employees pick up almost 2,000 pounds of edible goods once a week. Other sources of food come from USU Dining Services leftovers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, what does the money go towards?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It goes towards keeping our student leadership positions paid, it also helps us buy produce and meat that we can’t get when it’s out of season,” said Sarah Moore, the SNAC co-director.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SNAC has three full-time employees and two work-study positions for students. These leadership roles pick up food, pack food orders, order products, organize and clean, manage the budget, and ensure patrons are satisfied with the quality of their food.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_22119493" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-22119493" class="size-medium wp-image-22119493" src="https://usustatesman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dsc01679-600x400.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://usustatesman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dsc01679-600x400.jpg 600w, https://usustatesman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dsc01679-300x200.jpg 300w, https://usustatesman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dsc01679-335x223.jpg 335w, https://usustatesman.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/dsc01679.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><p id="caption-attachment-22119493" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Phil Weber</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But if anyone wants to contribute to something else within the organizations, there are other options.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On AggieFunded, options to fund specific needs for a week include $15 for cleaning supplies, $40 for packaging supplies, $50 for brown paper bags, $150 for produce in the winter or even $250 for AmeriCorps and work-study leaders.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s something small that can help. Honestly, we just feel like we’re doing a really good thing and it’s hard to get support,” Moore said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moore also says she sees the impact that it makes on students.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“College students are a population that falls by the wayside sometimes and aren’t able to receive help in other ways,” she said. “Having food assistance here is super crucial.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the SNAC </span><a href="https://www.usu.edu/servicecenter/programs/snac"><span style="font-weight: 400;">website</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, statistics also show the positive effect of the organization. It reports there were 8,429 visits and orders filled during the 2020-2021 academic year, a</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">nd 1,416 online orders in summer 2021.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And although students may think SNAC is only available for less fortunate people, employees want people to know that everyone struggles and they’re there to help anyone who wants to take advantage of it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a real need.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/forefront.20220127.264905#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20most%20recent,in%20the%20previous%2030%20days."><span style="font-weight: 400;">Health Affairs</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> reported a fall 2020 Hope Survey that revealed 29% of four-year college students have experienced food insecurity in the past 30 days. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I know what we do here isn’t solving a root problem, there’s other things that contribute to food insecurity, but I love feeling a part of something bigger,” Moore said. “Hearing how SNAC has impacted patron’s lives has been really cool.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SNAC originally started in 2010 by a previous USU student providing canned food from a trailer. In 2021, SNAC hired their first staff position. And though there have been changes over the years, their goal has always been the same.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We’re just picking up more momentum,” Bachman said. “I just hope we can raise money to keep it going and hopefully continue to advocate for what we’re doing and at some point maybe the university administration will fund what we do.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SNAC is open for walk-in browsing every Thursday from 1-3 p.m., 5-7 p.m. and every Friday from 1-3 p.m. They are open for online order pickups on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1-5 p.m.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anyone who would like to donate to SNAC can do so </span><a href="https://www.usu.edu/aggiefunded/snac/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here.</span></a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Through the drought and early snowstorm this year, a Utah State University student-run gleaning organization picked and donated 11,977.5 pounds of local produce throughout the valley during the season from July to October.</p>
<p>Cache Community Gleaning faced some unique challenges during the past season. Gleaning coordinator Emma Watts said they picked more fruit than in 2020, but not as much as they did in 2019.</p>
<p>Watts said there were a couple of reasons why they didn’t pick as much produce as they did during the first season, one reason being due to this year’s drought.</p>
<p>“A lot of people’s trees suffered from not having as much water,” Watts said.</p>
<p>She explained the trees also could have had an off year, another reason for the decreased yield.</p>
<p>“They&#8217;ll have a year where they just don&#8217;t produce anything, and it&#8217;s hard to know exactly when that&#8217;s going to happen,” Watts said.</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s early October snowstorm was also challenging for the team to work through. Watts said they were mainly picking apples at the time, and she was afraid of how the colder temperatures would affect them.</p>
<p>“It compromises a lot of the fruit. It makes them have this watery core, and then they start rotting because they&#8217;re frozen, then we can&#8217;t use them,” Watts said.</p>
<p>In addition to damage from the lower temperatures, the wind from the storm also made much of the produce unusable. According to Watts, a lot of the fruit had fallen because of the wind and branches falling.</p>
<p>The gleaning team did a session of picking fruit the day after the storm. Watts thought it would be their last of the season, so she canceled the remaining sessions they had scheduled.</p>
<p>Then, once the temperatures warmed up, the team was able to do additional sessions to pick apples until the fruit on trees was too mushy to give out to people. The USU Student Nutrition Access Center, or SNAC, was already overrun with apples, so they decided to stop picking.</p>
<p>Kara Bachman, the food security program coordinator, said it was difficult to manage the amount of apples SNAC received from the gleaning team. She was concerned they would go bad.</p>
<p>“There was a week that we had maybe 2,000 to 2,500 pounds of apples in our pantry. We were running out of space to put things and the whole pantry smelled like apples,” Bachman said.</p>
<p>Her solution was to sort and grade the apples to make the distribution easier.</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s really hard to manage that and so with the fruit now we grade it,” she said. “We grade it into A, B and C.”</p>
<p>According to Bachman, grade A produce can be eaten as is. Grade B goes to USU Extension and is made into applesauce or fruit leather. Grade C is composted or fed to animals.</p>
<p>To ensure the excess apples aren’t wasted, Bachman said SNAC recently purchased a cider press and containers to make and package apple cider.</p>
<p>“We&#8217;re going to package the cider in those and then hopefully distribute them in SNAC or find a way to sell it,” Bachman said. She estimated the cider will be ready by the beginning of December.</p>
<p>In addition to apples, Watts said Cache Community Gleaning picked cherries, apricots, pears, peaches, grapes, plums, tomatoes and other miscellaneous produce property owners grew this year.</p>
<p>With the season finished, Watts continues to work on making the team more organized for next year’s gleaning coordinator. She also plans to apply for more grants and make the team more well-known.</p>
<p>“In order for the gleaning program to really become like what we want it to be, we need more resources,” Watts said. “We need to network more, so people know who we are.”</p>
<p>According to the gleaning team&#8217;s official <a href="https://www.usu.edu/sustainability/get-involved/cachegleaning">website</a>, their mission is to reduce food waste by harvesting excess produce in Cache Valley and feeding it to those who can use it.</p>
<p>Watts explained the team fulfills their mission by donating harvested produce to SNAC, the Cache Community Food Pantry and gleaning volunteers.</p>
<p>“We&#8217;re just trying to not waste food that we can use to give to people that need it, or whoever is going to eat it really,” Watts said.</p>
<p>In addition to donating food to the community in Cache Valley, the team’s efforts also benefit the trees they glean from.</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s helpful for the community because we get to feed them but it&#8217;s also really good for the tree owners to have that stress taken off the trees,” Watts said. “When you leave a lot of fruit on the tree, then the branches don&#8217;t get strong enough to sustain all of the fruit.”</p>
<p>According to Watts, many trees they gleaned from were owned by older people who were unable to pick the fruit themselves. The gleaning team’s work helped to strengthen the trees for future growing seasons.</p>
<p>Gleaning efforts at USU began in 2018, according to the gleaning team’s website. The food preservation intern began a project to preserve fruit obtained at a low cost, so they picked fruit from local properties.</p>
<p>The following year, the USU Service Center went on a trip to Tucson, Arizona to work with an organization who teaches gleaning techniques to refugees and integrates them into their community. One member of the trip used this experience to start a gleaning program at USU.</p>
<p>Bachman, the sustainable food intern at the time, came back from the trip wanting to start a program to prevent food waste in Cache Valley. She and the food preservation Intern, Amria Farnsworth, noticed excess fruit in the community going to waste.</p>
<p>“We were noticing a lot of produce was being wasted,” Bachman said. “We knew that food security was an issue in Cache Valley and really everywhere else but we knew that the produce could be used to feed people.”</p>
<p>Bachman and Farnsworth recruited volunteers to do their first gleaning session in the summer of 2019, and Cache Community Gleaning began.</p>
<p>They started advertising and reaching out to people they knew who owned property in the valley. Eventually, they had over 50 properties to glean from.</p>
<p>Watts said the property owners were put on a list the team contacts every year. Using the list, they did about 35 gleaning sessions during the 2021 season.</p>
<p>Watts coordinated the gleaning team’s efforts this year with help from Sarah Moore, the co-director of SNAC. Watts and Moore are both USU students in addition to their jobs.</p>
<p>Watts said their schedules and course loads limited the time they were available to go out on gleaning sessions, but it was worth the time they had to spare.</p>
