Abstract: Basic needs insecurity, including insufficient or inadequate food, housing, and other personal necessities, is a common problem on college campuses, especially at community colleges (Baker-Smith et al., 2020; Broton & GoldrickRab, 2018), and an increasing number of higher education institutions are attempting to ameliorate this issue (Broton & Cady, 2020). While practitioners have long cared for students who struggled to get enough to eat (Saunders & Wilson, 2016), attending to students' basic needs in institutionalized ways is a rather recent phenomenon. Without an established professional code of ethics, administrators, student services practitioners, and faculty draw from institutional logics and cultural schemas to inform their practice (Broton, Miller, & Goldrick-Rab, 2020; Saunders & Wilson, 2016). Thus, uncritical approaches to these practices can reproduce pervasive racist, sexist, and classist tropes of blaming the poor for their life circumstances, reproducing paternalistic and surveillance (il)logics, and influencing how individuals approach helping students in need (Katz, 2013). This issue is specifically pertinent to voucher programs that distribute cash-like resources and, most important, in the context of community colleges that serve a larger share of students from marginalized groups. This article draws from a larger mixed-method study to examine how students at high risk of food insecurity used a meal voucher program that offered them money via a debit card to buy food from the college cafeteria or café. When offered the meal voucher debit card, how students used the resource and which factors were associated with its use?
