WHY FOOD PANTRY?

For many students, college isn’t just endless meal plans, late-night study sessions, and newfound freedom. Over 30% of college students are food insecure, 56% of food-insecure students are working, 75% of food-insecure students receive financial aid through their institutions, and 43% have a meal plan (College & University Food Bank Alliance). Indeed, food insecurity cuts across all demographic statuses, enrollment levels, and geographic locations. These stressors affect student success, impact learning, grades, and time to earn degrees. By addressing food insecurity, we also address educational needs.
