We are excited to announce the official opening of the Statesmen Market at Kennedy-King College.
One in five college students nationally experiences food insecurity. In Chicago, 50% of City Colleges students report food insecurity. For students balancing school, work, and family responsibilities, reliable access to nutritious food is critical to staying on track toward a degree, and ultimately, a sustaining-wage career.
Created in partnership with City Colleges of Chicago, Statesmen Market is stocked with fresh produce, protein, dairy, pantry staples, meals-to-go, and other necessities, all in a welcoming space where students can shop for free with dignity and pride.
Statesmen Market helps students focus on their education instead of worrying about their next meal.
For more information, including market hours or how to receive public benefits assistance, Kennedy-King students should visit their Wellness Center and see posted hours for service.
