Food Pantry
On-campus food pantries have been increasing since the recession began in 2007. Currently, more than 200 U.S. colleges operate pantries for students in need. According to the Wall Street Journal, factors that continue to drive campus food pantries are mainly increases in tuition, housing, books, and transportation.
About Our UNG Food Pantry
The UNG Food Pantry will provide non-perishable food items and basic supplies to food insecure students, staff and faculty in need. The food pantry is not a university funded service. The services are financed through year-round charitable fundraising events. Most of the food is from donations. Products offered are dependent on their availability, as well as our financial situation. We try to provide as much variety as possible while still maintaining cost limitations and providing for the basic needs for those who need assistance.
