College student uses $600 of her unused meal plan money to feed and care for the homeless community in St. Louis
CNN
Maya Nepos had only a few days left before graduating from college at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, when she realized she had $600 worth of unused meal plan money left. Nepos didn't have in-person classes during the pandemic and therefore didn't utilize her meal plan much.
At first, Nepos decided to start a challenge on TikTok to her almost 330,000 followers to see how quickly she could spend the $600 in two days from her campus store. Nepos had amassed a large following as a self-described social justice and political advocacy creator. Nepos bought snacks from a campus market but soon realized she wouldn't be able to eat all the food. She started giving it to those in need.More Related News
