Bobcat Bounty is on a mission to end food insecurity at Texas State. Bobcat Update's Alexis Richard (Ree-Shard) has the story.
Food insecurity means lacking the resources to have proper nutrition. Healthy food is something everyone needs to be mentally and physically strong. For college students, food insecurity can be a serious issue, because it can add to the stress they already feel. Having knowledge about nutrition can improve eating habits.
SB
Bobcat Bounty provides free food and more. The program offers a way for students to get involved. Volunteers are needed to help staff the group's efforts. Graduate Assistant Sawyer Cobb says she loves being apart of Bobcat Bounty.
SB
Bobcat Bounty uses social media to connect with students to inform them about healthy recipes and nutritional facts. One goal is to help students build their knowledge about food while also offering options that are delicious.
SB
Everyone is welcomed when Bobcat Bounty distributes food on Thursdays in the F-C-S building, room 187. For Bobcat Update, I'm Alexis Richard.
