It all started with an FSU student, Nathaniel Tackett, who had no idea what his next meal would be one day during the 2021 spring semester. He decided to do something about it. A year later, FSU established EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card terminals in qualifying locations on campus to help students facing food insecurity. Since February, the terminals have been available to students who are eligible for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.
