91Â鶹ӳ»­

The 91Â鶹ӳ»­ Pantry is a space led by Campus Activities and provides free food and supplies for students who are struggling financially or facing food insecurity on campus. This space is a welcoming and stigma-free environment for students. To sustain the pantry and meet the needs of the campus community, we ask that students take only what they need. We also encourage folks to bring their reusable bag for shopping in the pantry. For more updates follow the 91Â鶹ӳ»­ Pantry Instagram @ccpantry

Supporting the 91Â鶹ӳ»­ Pantry

The 91Â鶹ӳ»­ Pantry Exchange is made possible through funding from 91Â鶹ӳ»­SGA and generous donors. Thanks to the generosity of donors, we were able to renovate the old mail room into this larger space. We also hired student employees to support the operations and bought a refrigerator, which broadens the opportunities for frozen fruits and vegetables in addition to our standard fresh produce.  If you would like to donate financially to support the program,   You can also support this by visiting the . 

In addition to the 91Â鶹ӳ»­ Pantry, there is also a food shelf right outside our door. The 91Â鶹ӳ»­ community can drop off a few items on this shelf as often as they would like. This way, students can grab an item in a pinch. You can also donate reusable grocery bags on this shelf.

Coordinated by the Office of Sustainability, the 91Â鶹ӳ»­ Exchange (formerly known as the Swap Space) began years ago as a student-led initiative through the club EnAct. Its original goal was to reduce waste by providing students with a space to donate gently used items that might otherwise end up in the landfill.

Now housed within the Office of Sustainability, the 91Â鶹ӳ»­ Exchange—an on-campus free thrift store—continues to grow by reducing waste, increasing diversion, and building partnerships both on and off campus. The program also supports student well-being by helping meet basic needs in a sustainable, community-driven way.
