Each semester, Rutgers students who dorm are required to purchase a minimum meal plan of 210 swipes. Given their busy schedules, many students do not use all of them and they are neither refundable nor transferrable. Toward the end of the semester, students have the option to donate 2 of these swipes to charity. However many students are unaware of this option. We are starting a petition to either increase the number of swipes allowed to be donated, or to automatically donate unused swipes (that are not used otherwise!) 

Through the expansion of potential meal swipe donations, we hope to be able to fight food insecurity at Rutgers and the surrounding community.
