The Excel Center students

Helping Students Excel: The Excel Center & The Nutrition Education Program Join Forces to Feed Hungry Students

Students at The Excel Center facilities across Indiana face a unique set of challenges while completing their education. Many students are forced to choose between working or completing the program. Because many are under 21, are unemployed, or have limited funds, they do not qualify for SNAP benefits.

It was a scene that tugged at the heart of Karen Cain, a Purdue Nutrition Education Program Advisor (NEPA), who taught classes at the school. It also bothered Community Wellness Coordinators (CWCs) Linda Adams, Cori Chatterton, Betsy Coffing, Mindy Duckett, Katie Davison, and former CWC Claire Rivron when they discovered it was happening at their area The Excel Center facilities, too. Read more about how CWCs have helped to create and sustain environments that support access to food for these students.
