Internship Highlight

Applied Research in Action

In the summer of 2021, I conducted a survey at 6 Mesa County food pantries. Many of you told me you wanted to know the results. This website was created for you! We are so grateful for your participation in this survey. This wouldn’t have been possible without your help.
