March is Nutrition Month - An entire month dedicated to supporting student's overall nutrition, food security & wellbeing!
There a number of financial constraints that may prevent you from accessing nutritious food. We know many of you are dealing with food insecurity and we believe that access to healthy food is necessary for overall health and wellbeing! Join us in celebrating Nutrition Month at KPU and take advantage of the events and opportunities taking place!
