Boise State’s Swipe Out Hunger Association proudly works with students, Dining Services and Aramark to help provide donated meal swipes to the Meal Assistance Program so Boise State students facing food insecurity has access to no-cost meals. Recipients will receive 10 meal swipes to be used within the semester at the Boise River Cafe in the Student Union Building.
