Unused bonus meal swipes no longer need to go to waste. Under a new pilot program, students can now donate an unused meal on their meal plan to other students in need. The new plan, launched Feb. 4 by Cornell Dining, will create a “central bank” of unwanted, extra meals accessible to students experiencing food insecurity. Currently, meal swipes — which can be used in any of Cornell’s 10 all-you-care-to-eat dining facilities — and Big Red Bucks cannot be shared between individuals. While some meal plans offer guest swipes, the amount of bonus meals is limited, ranging from four swipes to eight swipes per semester based on different meal plan offerings.
