Swipe Out Hunger is a national nonprofit committed to eliminating food insecurity for students on college campuses across the country. CU Denver has partnered with Swipe Out Hunger and Lynx Dining to offer free meal swipes to students needing food assistance. Any CU Denver student may self-nominate themselves to request campus meal swipes from our Meal Swipe Bank, even if they do not live in the residence halls.
We have exhausted all Swipe Out Hunger meals for the Fall 2025 semester. If you are experiencing food insecurity or another resource crisis, please visit our Food Assistance page for additional resources. For additional questions or concerns, please reach out to lynxbasicneeds@ucdenver.edu.
Meal swipes may be used at either CU Denver Dining Hall - City Heights or Lynx Crossing during their operational hours. Please see the map below (circled in red). Please visit the Housing & Dining page for more details.
