KLCC s Elizabeth Gabriel reports on food insecurity among college students.
Daniel Aguirre, who goes by Dray, is a second year student at Central Oregon Community College in Bend. The first-generation college student wants to become a nurse. But his lack of stable housing and food can make it difficult for him to concentrate on school.
“There s actually a lot of people who are homeless out here,” said Aguirre. “There s a lot of students that are struggling, [and] a lot of people don t really know that, which is frustrating.”
He usually stays in a trailer located on his friends property and goes to a gym in order to take a shower. Since the trailer was vandalized a few years ago, a lot of the equipment doesn t work. Aguirre often experiences food insecurity because the broken propane system prevents him from cooking.
