Rutgers Against Hunger

Rutgers Against Hunger (RAH) is a university-wide initiative working to address the issues of hunger across the state of New Jersey. By bringing together the resources of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, RAH works to increase awareness of hunger, encourage advocacy and service to tackle hunger, stimulate research to assist those in need, and provide immediate relief through food drives and other events to raise money and collect food.

Drawing on expertise from throughout the University, RAH is organized through Rutgers Cooperative Extension, a unit of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. It enlists the assistance of Rutgers students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the concerned public in efforts to raise awareness about food insecurity throughout our communities, stock food banks, and pantries, provide consumer education on nutrition, deliver technical and organizational support to community groups, and conduct research toward understanding and improving food security as well as food production, packaging, and distribution.
