Tamara Garrett \u201923 arranges boxed macaroni and cheese, cans of soup and packaged snacks on shelves. With the fall semester underway at the University of Mary Washington, she wants to ensure that the Gwen Hale Resource Center (GHRC) is fully stocked.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people don\u2019t like to ask for help, but we want students to know that no matter what they need, Mary Washington has resources available for them,\u201d said Garrett, who graduated in May. Now working on the UMW campus as part of AmeriCorps, she\u2019s focused on alleviating food insecurity among college students.<\/p>\n

Years in the making, GHRC began on a much smaller scale to address that very issue, thanks to a caring UMW administrator who noticed students who didn\u2019t have enough to eat. Members of the Mary Washington community banded together, donating funds totaling $9,000 to open and operate a two-room food pantry in the attic of Lee Hall in 2019, joining other public and private colleges and universities across Virginia that have developed similar programs<\/a>. Committed to carrying out Gwen Hale\u2019s legacy, the University renamed the space in her honor after she passed away in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many students were coming to me and saying they had no laundry detergent, no winter coats, no clothing for interviews or student teaching, and no money for food,\u201d said Hale, then director of UMW\u2019s Writing Center, when GHRC first opened. \u201cI figured if these students had the guts to come to me, how many did not?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Garrett
Garrett said she makes regular trips to “shop” at the Fredericksburg Food Bank and collects donations of fresh produce from Giant Food and other area organizations. Members of the UMW community have also donated food and funds to keep the Gwen Hale Resource Center stocked for students.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That\u2019s what Professor of Sociology Leslie Martin, who now runs GHRC, sought to figure out. She and her students administered two campus-wide surveys, receiving several hundred responses. More than 20% of students indicated they struggled with some level of food insecurity, while at least 11% said they frequently had to skip meals for financial reasons.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a 2019 study by the Government Accountability Office found that an estimated 30% of college students nationwide are food insecure, a problem that has only been exacerbated because of the pandemic. Hundreds of food pantries have sprung up on college campuses to help answer the call.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal of an institution cannot happen if people are hungry or can\u2019t get their basic needs met,\u201d said Alexanna Hengy \u201917, an AmeriCorps member also volunteering at GHRC. The resource center serves a full spectrum of students, she said, from those who just need a snack between classes to those who don\u2019t know where their next meal is coming from.<\/p>\n

Financial donations from alumni, faculty, staff and community members have helped get GHRC up and running. Volunteers from Mary Washington and the Fredericksburg community keep it stocked with fresh produce, pantry staples, clothing, toiletries and more, which students can pick up for free. While the resource center maintains the anonymity of those who use it, more than 1,000 visits have been logged since 2021.<\/p>\n

Nicole Ford \u201921, who worked in the Writing Center as a student, decided to honor Hale by raising more than $1,300 for the resource center. \u201cMy fellow consultants and I were devastated when Gwen passed away. These funds are a testament to the impact she made at UMW,\u201d said Ford, who appreciates that GHRC provides \u201cstudents who are struggling a discreet way to access basic needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Professor of Economics Robert Rycroft had never considered food insecurity an issue among his students until Hale\u2019s advocacy persuaded him to make a gift toward the resource center. \u201cWe were taking care of our own, and a request from Gwen just could not be ignored,\u201d said Rycroft, who has also donated food. \u201cHer commitment to UMW students was genuine and total, and I wanted to support my good friend\u2019s efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Junior Meghan McAndrew first learned about GHRC through the student-run service program COAR. Now, in addition to volunteering, she has occasionally gotten items there. \u201cI\u2019ve been able to direct friends at other schools to seek out similar resources,\u201d McAndrew said. \u201cCollege is expensive, and it\u2019s so helpful to have these necessities accessible on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
