Food Insecurity and Student Pantries12:57 – 18:42

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

12:57

Yes.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

12:57

And I'm hoping when you become region that you will get in there and fix some of it.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:02

I mean, I don't know how much you can fix, like you just said.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:05

Right.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:06

I mean, there's only so many jobs.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:08

You know what? You know, there's only so many.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:10

And then probably like I mean, look how people are at UNLV.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:13

I mean, all of them are looking for a part time job.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:17

And oh, my gosh.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:18

And probably in the same area and everything.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:21

So.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:22

That's going to be hard because there's only so many fast food places, right, that you go to work at.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:29

But it does get very difficult.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:32

And then, too, and then food, you know, to be able to buy groceries.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:37

I hear about that, too, that they're having a hard time with just buying food and all of that.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:45

And then I found out that there's no – There's not really like a discount for them on the campus for any lunches or anything else either.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:58

I know.

E

Evelyn PachecoHost

13:58
