Hollins University has received $11,190 from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) to support on-campus initiatives addressing student food insecurity.

SCHEV授予的总金额为50万美元到英联邦的48所公立和私立高等教育机构。 The grants are funded by the 无饥饿校园食品储藏室资助计划, enacted by the General Assembly in 2025.

“This grant will directly strengthen our ability to ensure that no student has to choose between meeting basic needs and focusing on their education,” 负责学生成功、幸福和归属的副总裁蒂芙尼·辛顿 said. “该奖项将使我们能够通过提高存储容量，增加获得营养和文化响应性食品的机会，以及实施帮助我们保持持续供应的系统，来扩大和增强我们的校园食品储藏室。”

“I’m so excited for the possibilities ahead to expand access, recognize our wonderful volunteers, and create consistency and excellent resources through the pantry,” 大学牧师兼跨信仰归属主任林赛·莫泽 said.

欣顿说：“最终，这笔拨款加强了我们支持全体学生的使命，并确保霍林斯仍然是一个充满爱心、反应迅速的社区，每个学生都有机会茁壮成长。”

Hollins’ campus Food Pantry is located in duPont Chapel and is open Monday through Friday from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. It is part of the university chapel’s 护理中心, which also includes the Free Store, Career Closet, and Campus Lactation Room. 该中心是一个一站式的欢迎空间，学生可以免费获得食物、基本卫生用品、职业服装和哺乳支持。

“We are deeply grateful for funding from the General Assembly, as well as support from Reunion Weekend giving, the 霍林斯反贫困倡议, and a coalition of alumni, faculty, staff, community partners, and donors,” Hinton said. “总之，这些投资使霍林斯能够解决学生的食品不安全问题，满足学生多样化和不断变化的需求。”
