Who Benefits, and why is FSU undertaking Round Up for FSU?
The Round Up for FSU initiative benefits the FSU Food for Thought Food Pantry. The Office of Business Services and FSU
recognize that food Insecurity is a growing trend on college campuses across the country. According to Feeding America,
49.3 percent of Feeding America’s clients in college must choose between educational expenses (i.e., tuition, books and
supplies, rent) and food. It is important to look at the efforts being made to provide healthy options to the members of
our community in need of food assistance. Through this Round Up initiative, FSU is helping to answer this need.
