5. Meal share
The University of Tennessee’s Big Orange Meal Share program allows students as well as faculty and alumni to provide meals to students in need. Launched in early 2016, the program allows current students at the Knoxville, Tenn., school to donate unused guest meals and alumni and staff to donate money toward meals at its all-you-can-eat dining facility. According to the university’s website, a donation of $7.87 provides breakfast for a student in need, while $9.18 or $11.03 will provide lunch or dinner, respectively.
