Feed Your Brain is a student-led initiative to increase awareness of food insecurity and increase food access for Hamline students. This has led to the creation of the Hamline Food Resource Center that provides food resources to help students. The movement for Food Accessibility and Justice is not only at Hamline, but nationwide!

What is Feed Your Brain?
For its first three semesters, Feed Your Brain hosted pop-up pantries once per semester, eventually increasing the frequency to once a month. In spring 2018, the Food Resource Center was open once every week and yielded over 600 total visits. Beginning this semester, the resource center expanded its hours and has had nearly 300 visits in just the first 3 weeks of the spring semester.
Now, the Food Resource Center has expanded exponentially and we continue to see an increase in visits and pounds of food distributed.
Feed Your Brain collaborated with Hamline’s Public Health Department, Environmental Studies, Digital Media Arts, and Professional Writing departments to form a ColLab class in which it hosted focus groups on topics like food insecurity. This class also worked with community partners such as Hamline Elementary School, and the Urban Farm and Garden Alliance’s GrowRx Project.
