This page was created to document the lives of 14 students from two different higher ed institutions (Paul Quinn Collge and Abilene Christian University) on their Spring Break in a food desert. We hope this exposes the reality of how one grocery store in a food desert could drastically change the lives of those effected by it.

Day 5
Finally, the last day! What I learned from this experience was that people in this community do not realize that they live in a food desert. That it is normal for them drive ten or more minutes to a grocery store. I feel that we should educate people on what is happening in our community. I have the upmost respect for those who have to work with just $4.32 a day just to provide for their families. This experience has made me appreciate what I have and realize that I should not take any thing for granted and just be grateful that you are not in that same position.
