NJIT Food Pantry Drive

A Homecoming Service Project
NJIT Food Pantry Drive

Food insecurity – the lack of reliable access to sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food – is common at colleges and universities across the country, potentially undermining the educational success of untold thousands of students.

A 2016 study from the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness found that 48% of college students had experienced some type of food insecurity within 30 days of being surveyed, with 22 percent qualifying as "hungry" due to low levels of meal stability. Food is not something any student should have to worry about, but many still do.
