        <div  class="newsletter-txt">The  pandemic  heightened  food  insecurity  for  families  across  Illinois.



Now,  research  is  showing  students  on  college  campuses  are  also  feeling  the  impact.



At  the  University  of  Illinois  Springfield,  they  have  a  food  pantry  where  students  can  come  and  get  food  at  no  cost.



Jill  Hawkins-Wright,  the  director  of  the  Volunteer  and  Civic  Engagement  Center  at  UIS,  said  students  are  tight  on  time  and  also  paying  for  costs  that  come  with  schools  like  books  and  transportation.</div>
