The annual Buy a Student Breakfast program achieved its goal of providing more than 600 free breakfasts to U of L students, thanks to the contributions of our community, both on and off campus. For $10, people were able to sponsor two student meals, including a breakfast sandwich and a coffee or tea. As well, $1,255 was raised in support of the new Student Pantry Project, another Nourish initiative that is set to launch in early 2020.
