When Lane Washington, Ph.D., arrives at a quarantined University of Florida student’s home with a week’s supply of free groceries, the gratitude is apparent. Students welcome the diverse, nutritious meals but also the fast delivery.

“Our students truly appreciate how something that is simple but important gets taken care of so quickly,” said Washington, the director of strategic initiatives for the UF Division of Student Affairs who oversees the Food Assistance Program.

Those brief interactions also leave strong impressions on Washington. After a delivery, he heads out feeling happy and fulfilled.

“They say ‘thank you’ and genuinely mean it. That means a lot to me. I’m grateful to be part of an institution that goes to such great lengths to take care of all of our students’ needs,” Washington said.

Since late August, students who must isolate themselves have immediate, convenient access to the free Food Assistance Program run by Student Affairs.

Together for Florida, working to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.
