Creating a community of practice among college campus food pantry directors in Michigan [electronic resource] / C. E. Price,N. R. Sampson,H. A. Reppond,K. Thomas-Brown &J. K. Camp. - pp. 96-106.

There is increased awareness of hunger and food insecurity on college campuses. Recent estimates suggest that food insecurity affects as many as 4 out of 10 college students. As a result, over 650 US colleges have established campus food pantries. The College and University Pantries (CUP) research team at the University of Michigan–Dearborn has worked to create a community of practice in Michigan among campus pantry directors by hosting 2 summits designed around networking, problem-solving, and sharing best practices. This article describes the Michigan community of practice as an example for other regions doing similar work.
