Food Assistance
The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Food Assistance Program was launched in the Spring of 2015 as a collaborative effort between the Student Senate and Board or Trustees to help a growing number of students who reported experiencing varying levels of food insecurity. The Food Assistance Program supports ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students through access to its on-campus food pantries, dining dollars, and other community resources. Through funding from the University and Student Senate, and our partnerships with the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Sustainability Farm, and various other community partners, we are able to offer our students access to our open choice pantries.
ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students who are currently enrolled at the University are eligible to participate
in the Food Assistance Program. Upon completion of the enrollment form, students are
able to visit all campus pantries. Although we are fortunate enough to not have limitations on the number of visits,
the program works on a limited budget and must support all students. Therefore, we
request that students take only what they personally need from the pantry. Please note, due to our limited resources, not all items may be available at all
times. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, ensuring the program's success!
If you have any questions, please reach us at FoodAssistanceProgram@stockton.edu.
I really appreciate the program. It has helped me everyday this semester...It's one thing less I have to worry about while enrolled.
I no longer have to worry about food and can instead focus on my school work!
I am very grateful we have this program for students.
Great program that helped me have better access to a well-balanced diet.
The staff is respectful when it comes to questions about the program.
I was very impressed with how organized and beneficial the food pantry was.
