DENVER — Metropolitan State University of Denver’s newest strategy to address student hunger is Rowdy’s Corner — a 1,000-square-foot former campus convenience store turned free-food-and-supplies stop for students.
Not only is the space new, but the attitude around it is reinvented, too.
The Auraria Campus institution is intentionally avoiding calling the location a “food pantry” in an attempt to shed the stigma students may have around the term and encourage them to use the offerings shame-free.
