They must verify eligibility by going to the Single Stop office in Room 3115-8 to complete an assessment with the program coordinator. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students who are homeless, come from low income homes or are not eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are eligible to receive the vouchers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of vouchers provided is determined by the student\u2019s school schedule. However, most students receive two vouchers per day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMDC serves a diverse population, in which sixty-six percent of students come from low-income households and forty-five percent live below the federal poverty line,\u201d said Alyssa Zamora, director of communications and digital engagement for the MDC Foundation. \u201cSeventy-six percent of MDC students receive financial assistance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vouchers allow students to obtain beverages, such as coffee, juices, teas and water, and any food item, including egg and cheese sandwiches, ham and cheese croissants, empanadas, cup of fruits, sandwiches, wraps, salads or the special of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students can only use the voucher at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/search\/?q=%22Miami%20Culinary%20Institute%22\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Miami Culinary Institute<\/span><\/a> caf\u00e9 on the 1st floor of building 9 at Wolfson Campus. Each voucher is valued at $4 for breakfast and $6 for lunch.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first month, more than 1,900 meal vouchers were distributed. Three months since its inception, 3,565 breakfast vouchers and 4,130 lunch vouchers have been distributed<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe students are very grateful for this type of assistance as most of them do not meet the food stamps criteria because they are students of higher education not working 80 hours a month or under the work study program,\u201d Arenas said.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MDC Foundation is accepting donations to continue to fund the program.
