This article is part of an ongoing 

series of articles outlining specific 
initiatives 
of 
Central 
Student 

Government on campus.

Business 
sophomore 
Arathi 

Sabada, 
a 
Central 
Student 

Government representative, has 
been working with Michigan 
Dining and the Dean of Students 
Office to implement an emergency 
meal program that will allow 
students 
living 
off-campus 

worried about food security to 
request six meals during the 
winter 2017 semester.

Food security is a prominent 

issue on college campuses, with 
a study conducted by Hunger 
on Campus finding 43 percent 
of all students with a meal plan 
experience food insecurity, and 
46 percent of these students run 
out of meal points before the end 

of the term. At the Universityof 
Michigan, all dormatory meal 
plans are unlimited, though off 
campus students have to choose 
how many meals to purchase for 
the semester.

Sabada stated any University 

students could benefit from the 
new program, and they could 
either be referred by Counseling 
and Psychological Services or 
University Health Services. They 
could also walk in and talk to 
the dean of students to see if the 
program would work for them.

“Essentially a student can go 

there and for whatever reason they 
might be food insecure, they can 
request six meals from dining.” 
Sabada said. “If they happen to be 
struggling this month, it’s meant 
to tide them over and get them 
through the week, the semester, 
whenever they need it. The dean of 
students will then contact dining 
and add the meals to the student’s 

MCard, so anyone is eligible for the 
program.”

Public Policy junior Joe Shea, 

CSG communications director, 
mentioned the program allowed 
students on campus to have 
access to alternative food sources 
to ensure that their academic 
performance didn’t suffer because 
of a lack of food security.

“The emergency meal program 

was based on this idea that ‘Leaders 
and Best’ is something that we 
often use to describe ourselves as 
students, but in thinking about 
what allows students to be leaders 
at their best — they need to have 
access to nutritious foods for 
every meal of the day.” Shea said. 
“That is the founding belief of the 
emergency meal program.”

Sabada stated though most 

studies suggest food insecurity is 
a large problem on campus, there 
wasn’t sufficient data collected 
specifically from the University. 

She mentioned it was hard to 
find out how and whom to help 
when there weren’t any numbers 
for them to build on.

The idea of the program 

came 
from 
working 
with 

student 
organizations 
and 

hearing concerns from students. 
These discussions allowed an 
estimation of how useful it 
would be for campus.

“We knew there was a need 

on campus so we wanted to do 
two things: meet that immediate 
need by providing students with 
meals, and also collect that data 
so that future data can be crafted 
that more directly target the 
populations that may need the 
program the most,” she said.

CSG also collaborated with 

other 
student 
organizations 

such as Maize & Blue Cupboard, 
a 
food 
pantry 
distributes 

resources through the Trotter 
Multicultural Center.

The emergency meal plan’s 

current model was developed 
after looking into the school’s 
own resources as well as other 
programs colleges statewide and 

Central Student Government works
to implement emergency meal plans

2024

On Monday from 1 to 7 a.m., a 

team of eight students at Edible, an 

Ann Arbor startup, delivered 1,000 

care packages across Ann Arbor. 

The care packages — containing 

food products and distributed 

around residential areas, student 

housing, local businesses and 

University of Michigan buildings 

— were part of a new marketing 

stunt for the app, which aims to 

help users find local food that 

accommodates their dietary 

restrictions.

Edible CEO and co-founder 

Mike Copley, a University alum, 

brought the app to market last year 

with his team, including alum Ish 

Baid, chief technology officer and 

co-founder; LSA senior Lucas Ryan, 

who works with marketing and 

public relations; and Public Policy 

junior Elle Shwer, who works with 

branding and graphic design.

Baid wrote in an email 

interview the PR scheme proved 

successful — the app grew by nearly 

800 users. 

“We’ve been getting incredible 

growth,” he wrote. 

“Numbers are still coming 

in and we don’t have 

an exact figure, but we 

estimate over 1,000 users 

on campus by end of next 

week.”

Copley said in 

December the app 

crowdsources the 

information from its users, 

who list meals they have 

purchased, highlight the 

dietary restrictions that 

are accommodated at the 

restaurant and review their 

overall experience.

“It’s almost like Yik 

Yak the way we set up the 

feed,” he said. “So it’s just 

a list of menu items from 

various restaurants. Each one has 

upvotes and downvotes.”

Baid added the app caters to 

a sizable base in Ann Arbor — his 

team’s research estimates nearly 

one in four University students have 

dietary restrictions.
