Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is a resource available to all currently enrolled students who may be facing food insecurity. Our mission is to ensure no student has to choose between buying textbooks and buying groceries. We offer a variety of perishable and non-perishable food items, as well as personal care products to support students’ basic needs. The pantry is a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space because we believe that access to nutritious food is essential to academic success and overall well-being.
