PORCH makes it easy for any student to fight hunger in their home or college town. By bringing awareness of food insecurity to the community and mobilizing a food drive, students help identify potential neighbors to help create a sustainable hunger relief program. Our Student Ambassadors are a critical link in helping get PORCH neighborhoods started.
