Please join us as we hear from an award-winning non-profit leader helping with the homeless student issue we've been discussing over the past year or so!

Rachel Sumekh is the Founder & CEO of Swipe Out Hunger. The organization is a leading force in addressing hunger amongst college students. Her work has been recognized by The Obama White House, The New York Times and landed her on the 2017 Forbes 30 Under 30 list. 

Swipe Out Hunger began in 2010 with a few friends as a college project at UCLA. Since, it has grown onto 37 universities, serving 1.4 million meals. Their innovative approach allows university students to donate the unused funds from their meal plans to food insecure peers. Earlier this year the organization was called upon to author a piece of legislation to address college student hunger. The state of California adopted their innovative legislation and put $7.5 Million behind it. 

Before launching Swipe Out Hunger full time, Rachel followed her millennial urge to change the world and served those facing poverty as a case manager in Chicago through Avodah. In her spare time, she enjoys advising early stage social entrepreneurs, engaging in civic life and staying active. She is a proud graduate of UCLA and says she is challenging the status quo of what it means to be a Typical Persian Girl.
