  • Butler University (BU) - Water Filtration Stations, 2019

    SGA plans to increase number of water filtration stations on campus

    ERIC YOUNG | STAFF REPORTER | emyoung2@butler.edu

    SGA’s Student Initiatives Board plans to continue adding more water filtration stations around campus in the upcoming semesters.

    Water filtration stations are the rectangular boxes often seen above drinking fountains on campus. The stations are supposed to fill water bottles more conveniently than drinking fountains while also encouraging the use of reusable water bottles. Most stations feature a tracker that allows students to see how many plastic water bottles have been saved by refilling their water bottle.

    Each filtration station added to an existing water fountain on campus costs $2,000. Filtration stations added in a location without a water fountain can cost upward of $5,000 to $6,000. The last water filtration stations were approved for funding through the university capital budgeting process in June 2018. Following the approval of a handful of stations, additional funding was then added to build several more stations across campus bringing the total to nine new stations for the fall semester.

    “We see a trend of students of our generation are more concerned about sustainability than they ever have before,” said John Lacheta, SGA vice president of student initiatives and a senior management information systems and risk management double major.

    The idea to add water filtration stations was in part to student feedback both in person and through a survey asking students what they initiatives they want to see on campus.

    “Students frequently indicated they wanted to see more filtration stations around campus,” Lacheta said. “More outreach was done to target the most needed spaces, and the funds were secured, and the stations installed.”

    Despite costs, Kelly Helmer, a first-year digital media production major, said she felt the positive benefits of the filtration stations outweighed the costs.

    “Living in Ross, it’s kind of hard to fill up from normal drinking fountains,” Helmer said. “It makes it a lot easier when you’re late to class and out of water. I’m fine with the number of stations they have now.”

    Nolan Ahearn, a first-year health sciences major, said he finds the filtration stations convenient and understands the positive impact they can have on the planet, but is not sure if they are entirely worth it.

    “Most people can’t get into something that they can’t physically see the connection to,” Ahearn said. “The fact that it’s more of a belief and you’re just believing that it’s saving plastic isn’t really changing people’s minds. They just use it for the conveniency of the matter when really they could just be using the drinking fountain.”

    When the new Lacy School of Business opens next semester, the building will feature water filtration stations. Along with the business building, there is a possible opportunity to extend the station population by five new stations across campus in the near future through the university capital budgeting process.

  • Colorado Northwestern Community College/Rangley (CNCC) - Food Pantry

    https://www.craigdailypress.com/news/colorado-northwestern-community-college-food-pantry-curbs-hunger-on-campus/

    College students face many challenges, but getting enough to eat doesn’t have to be one of them.


    CNCC’s Student Pantry has offered free food to college students for the past two years.


    “It’s a program that grew organically because we needed it and we have people who have cared,” said Director of Student Support Jennifer Holloway.


    Students who forgot to bring a lunch or are short of funds may seek help directly from Holloway or from the Student Government Offices or by speaking to someone at the front desk at the CNCC Academic Building, 2801 W 9th St., Craig.


    The College and University Food Bank Alliance, the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness, the Student Government Resource Center, and the Student Public Interest Research Groups surveyed college students in 2016 to better understand hunger on campus.


    The study found:

    • Food insecurity was reported by 48 percent of students. About half of those qualified as going hungry.

    • Food insecurity occurs at both two-year and four-year institutions.

    • Food insecurity is a problem even for students who are employed, participate in a campus meal plan, or seek other financial or material help.

    • Students experiencing food insecurity often also suffer from housing insecurity, such as difficulty paying the rent, mortgage, or utility bills.

    • Housing insecurity is greatest at community colleges.

    • Students reported that problems securing food or housing resulted in missed classes, dropped classes and prevented them from buying textbooks.


    “It all goes along with the cost of education,” said Moffat County College Board Member Lois Wymore. “ Most of our students, whether they are traditional or nontraditional, have to work as well. It’s really difficult to make ends meet.”


    Student Government Secretary and College Sophomore Sara Petree thinks the pantry is important.


    “I think the students that have come here from other places may struggle to get nourishing food,” she said.


    Students are able to receive two kinds of help: food to feed their households and/or a meal while on campus.


    The college doesn’t keep records on who uses the service to encourage any student in need to seek help. They also fill red bags of food an leave them outside of the Student Government offices so that students don’t have to ask to grab a bag of food.


    “Our students are overwhelmingly appreciative. Once they are settled and everything is OK, they are some of our biggest donors,” said Administrative Assistant II Carol Sharp.


    The college keeps the panty — a storage cupboard at the academic building — filled by holding food drives a few times a year.


    “At the end of each semester, before finals, instructors often give students extra credit for bringing in food,” said Craig Campus Student Life Coordinator Barry Steadman.


    A food drive is underway now to prepare for the increased demand from students at the start of the fall semester. Non-perishable food items can be taken to the college academic building.


    “We offer hope for people trying to get our of poverty. We are one of the most tangible ways to fight poverty,” said Holloway. “This is there way out.”

  • Concord University (CU) - Food Pantry

    Welcome to the Concord University Food Pantry

    foodpantry.png

    The Academic Success Center (ASC) began the CU Food Pantry in Fall 2016 after researching college student food insecurity. More and more colleges and universities across the country are creating food pantries, so it is great that Concord is ahead of the curve on this initiative and need. “Food pantries...have sprung up at more than 300 colleges across the country to address a problem the Agricultural Department calls ‘food insecurity’ on campus” (NY Times “Food Pantries Address a Growing Hunger Problem at Colleges,” June 22, 2016). In 2019, the Office of Veteran Services took over management of the food pantry when the ASC was relocated.

    The purpose of the CU Food Pantry is to provide CU students who may not always have the resources to buy food or other essential items. If a student is hungry, it is unlikely they will be able to focus on doing what it takes to be a successful college student. Ensuring that students do not go hungry is one additional way we can support our students at Concord.
     

    Donations


    We are continuously seeking donations to keep the Food Pantry stocked. We accept any non-perishable food items as well as toiletries and health and hygiene items. However, the following list are the items most popular:

    Single serving nuts
    Small bags of chips/crackers
    Breakfast bars
    Pop-tarts
    Jell-O, fruit, and pudding cups
    Single serving oatmeal
    Easy Mac
    Hot chocolate
    Bottled Water
    Small UHT milk
    Single serving cereal
    Ramen
    Single serving rice

    You can drop donations off at the following locations:

    1. Office of Veteran Services, Rahall 2nd floor Atrium
    2. Student Center opposite of the information desk
    3. Marsh Hall 3rd floor
    4. Donations can also be left on the top of the Food Pantry
    Monetary donations can also be made through the CU Foundation
     

    Thanks to the organizations and individuals who have helped support this vital project!


    Bonner has been a great supporter of the CU Food Pantry since its inception. They donated a couple of hundred dollars’ worth of food and supplies to get the pantry started. We greatly appreciate their continued support and efforts. Many CU faculty and staff and members of the Athens community also regularly donate items to the pantry, some saying they remember what it was like to be a hungry college student who could not afford a meal. The SGA has also been extremely supportive and has provided very generous donations.

    https://norwalk.edu/adult-learning/the-pantry/


    Our Mission
    The Pantry @NCC seeks to alleviate the barriers and challenges associated with food insecurity and hunger so that students can remain in school, and ultimately, earn their degrees.

    The Pantry @NCC
    Current Hours
    Monday 8:30 am to 2:00 pm
    Tuesday 9 am to 10 am
    11:30 to 4:00 pm
    Wednesday 8:30 am to 4:00 pm
    Thursday 9 am to 10 am
    12:00 noon to 2:30 pm
    Friday 9:30 am to 12:00 noon

    Who we are and why
    Why does NCC have a food pantry? Food insecurity has increasingly become an issue on college and university campuses across the country with some data showing 39-59% of college students experiencing food insecurity. Research has shown that the rates of food-insecure community college students exceed the national average which has a negative effect on student GPA, levels of energy, and concentration. Obtaining an adequate food supply is often a major component of the financial stress that students bear. And while there are community resources available, it may be difficult to access them due to transportation or scheduling. In addition, sometimes community food resources are not able to accommodate students based on their eligibility guidelines.

    How does it work?
    Students are allowed to self-refer, or may be referred by campus departments. Students must present their Student ID or other proof that they are a current, registered NCC student in order to receive food. Students in need are welcome to visit The Pantry twice per month and receive a total of 20 items per month. Students are encouraged to bring their own grocery bag or to reuse the bag they are given upon their first visit to the pantry.

  • Dallas College/Brookhaven - Food Pantry

    Almost half of the DCCCD student population is food insecure. The struggle regarding food insecurity is real. 

    In the past 30 days, these students have eaten less at meals to make their food last longer, or skipped meals entirely. Many do not know where their next meal will originate. Yet, these students return to class, complete assignments and fight to earn their education, as they sacrifice so much to be here.

    Accessing the Food Pantry

    The campus food pantry is located in Bldg. K, Room K241 and is accessible year-round. The pantry provides both shelf stable and frozen food products as well as basic toiletries. See below for the current hours of operation.

    NTFB Mobile Food Truck

    In addition to the on-site food pantry, we have partnered with the North Texas Food Bank to provide a mobile food truck that delivers fresh produce and milk to campus once per month. See below for the current schedule. In the news - Mobile Food Pantry Delivers

    FAQ’s

    How does visiting the food pantry or mobile food truck work?

    To visit the on-campus food pantry in Bldg. K, Room K241, the individual will sign in and out via Who's Next?, a computer software program. This information remains confidential and serves only for statistics and data. The individual can then gather the food they need. You do not have to be a student, staff member or live in the neighborhood to access the food pantry benefits.

    To visit the North Texas Food Bank mobile food truck, individuals will need to provide their name, date of birth and number of people in their household. No other information is needed. The information that is gathered will remain confidential and serves only for statistics and data. 

     

    Why do I have to sign into Who's Next? to access the food pantry?

    We use Who's Next? to track the number of people that visit the pantry in any given day. Your information is not shared, sold or reported to any other campus entity. This system helps the pantry coordinator to understand when to open and staff the pantry to suit community needs.

     

    What types of foods are usually available?

    The mobile food truck brings fresh produce on the truck and has recently added milk delivery. The on-campus food pantry offers shelf stable food, basic toiletries, baby food and diapers, and some frozen goods. 

     

    How do I know if I qualify for food assistance?
    It's easy! Stop by the pantry and complete a TEFAP form. The process taskes about 15 minutes and our pantry employees can help. Beginning Fall 2019, everyone who visits the pantry will be required to complete this form. Your information will remain confidential and is not shared with any other entity on campus.

     

    Why do I have to complete a form?

    We partner with the North Texas Food Bank to utilize their mobile food truck and order pantry food. We are required to report the total number of clients served every month to the North Texas Food Bank.

     

    What are you doing with my information on the form? I do not want to be tracked or have this information shared.

    The information you provide to us is not shared with other campus offices or non-campus entities. This information solely exists to provide oversight to our program and ensure we are following all guidelines set forth by the North Texas Food Bank.

     

    What if I know someone in need of food assistance, but they will not/cannot come to the pantry?
    You may visit the pantry and gather food for the people who need it. We understand that some people do not want to visit the pantry, or are worried about the stigma attached to food insecurity.

     

    I want to donate to the food pantry. What items does the pantry need?
    View the Brookhaven College Food Pantry Wishlist. 

     

    Are there particular food distribution goals you are trying to meet?
    There are no specific food goals to meet. We strive to feed as many clients as possible every single day. View the latest North Texas Food Bank Mobile Food Pantry statistics.

  • Ferris State University (FSU) - SGA to give $10,000 to food pantry

    SGA to give $10,000 to food pantry

    Ferris to house on-campus food pantry

    Posted by Tate Zellman on April 17, 2024

    The Student Government Association announced on April 9 that a food pantry will be opening in the David Eisler Center for the next academic year.   

    The need for an on-campus pantry came after the Wesley House was no longer able to house theirs. Currently, the new pantry is receiving a grant and a three-door fridge from the Dairy Association of West Michigan. SGA has also committed to donating $10,000.  

    Computer information systems junior and SGA President Stephen Bender hopes the donation will help get the pantry up and running.  

    “We wanted to do a large initial donation to guide them and provide some value early on,” Bender said. “We’re doing $10,000 off the bat and then hopefully we can allocate extra funding for them for years to come.”  

    Dean of Student Life Lina Blair stated that nationally about 35% of college students struggle with food insecurity and housing insecurity. About 10% of college students across the country have been homeless for at least two nights in the last 30 days.  

    Student Life wants to better understand what these percentages look like for Ferris students specifically, so they are preparing a survey to be sent out.  

    “It’s important for students to know that they’re not the only one dealing with that,” Blair said. “Often I think students feel like they’re flying solo.”  

    Blair also stated that if students struggle with food insecurities, they could also be struggling with other things such as finding a job on campus, financial aid, and family stuff.  They want to make campus life easier for students by providing help to navigate and connect with resources on campus.  

    The hope is that the size and location of the new food pantry will help minimize the stigma and encourage students to not be ashamed to ask for help.

    “Food insecurity or housing insecurity doesn’t happen in a vacuum,” Blair said. “So how can we help students get connected to all the things when they are walking in the door saying they’re struggling with food insecurity when there’s more going on? There’s always something under the surface.”

    Administrative assistant Maggie Walcott, who works at the President’s Office, was one of the first to see the need for a pantry and helped recruit Blair for the project.   

    “This is something that we hope will be not just a resource for students to utilize because it’s so convenient for them, but something the community can be proud of,” Walcott said. “Having our students be successful by having access to food resources is important to us.”

    Currently, the West Campus Food Pantry, located in the West Campus Community Center, is open to any students struggling with food insecurity. Students can sign in with their ID, and there are no income requirements for the pantry.

  • Monmouth University (MU) - Nest Food Pantry

    The NEST Food Pantry

    Fall 2020 Nest Hours:  Mondays 4-6 pm and Thursdays 2-4 pm

    Every year, approximately 30% of the students who attend a college or university in the US, experience some form of food insecurity.  After paying tuition, buying books and/or paying a monthly rent, many students are left wondering whether or not they will have enough money to buy food or personal items such as toiletries.  It is with that in mind, that the Student Government Association (SGA) created The Nest food pantry to support Monmouth University undergraduate and graduate students who do not have a meal-plan.  Students who do not have any form of meal-plan can come to the Nest to select non-perishable food items (i.e., pasta, canned foods, cereals, crackers, etc.) beverages, and toiletries (i.e., toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, etc.).

    Donate to The Nest
    SGA has placed collection bins on-campus and one at the Graduate Center for members of the Monmouth University community to drop off donations.  Donation bins are located on the first floor of the Great Hall, the first floor of the Student Center, Magill Commons Dining Hall, the Library and the Plangere Center.  SGA will accept all non-perishable food items such as:  canned fruits, vegetables, soups and dinners, peanut butter, dry goods, cereals, crackers, condiments, bottled beverages, freeze dried foods (i.e. ramen noodles, soups, meals, etc.).  SGA will also accept donations of personal items/toiletries such as:  toothpaste, tooth brushes, dental floss, shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, cleaning products, toilet paper, sanitary items, paper towels, etc.

    Questions?  Feel free to contact SGA by phone:  732-571-3484 or via email:  sga@monmouth.edu

    Food Pantry & Giving Shelves


    Hunger Knows No SeasonFood Bank Mobile Pantry Food to You

    According to the North Texas Food Bank there is a need in North Texas to feed our community experiencing food insecurity:

    • One in every six people- including one in five children- in our service area are food insecure (about 800,000 and almost 300,000 respectively) which means they don’t always know where they will find their next nutritious meal.
    • Many North Texas neighbors must choose between putting food on the table and paying for health care or utilities.
    • Hunger exists in all zip codes and is found where you might least expect: on college campuses, in corporate offices, at child care centers and in farming communities.

    NCTC is taking action to address food insecurity among its students, and is doing so with a vision of partnership and community building. We have established a Food Pantry at our main Campus in Gainesville and Giving Shelves on each of our campuses that will provide food and snacks for students in need.

    Any current NCTC student in need can visit the Food Pantry and Giving Shelves.  For more information on locations, opening dates and times please contact the campuses.

    Donations are accepted for the Food Pantry and Giving Shelves at any of our campus locations. Items in need include:

    • Pasta Sides
    • Fruit Snacks
    • Canned Fruit
    • Instant Rice
    • Pudding Cups
    • Mashed Potatoes

    Helping the Northern Arizona University community
    We are students helping students and staff by providing nonperishable food and resources.


    Louie’s Cupboard—a food pantry for NAU
    Many students struggle with the expenses of college. Some struggle to afford books or rent, but many college students face limited financial resources to buy groceries or a meal plan. There has been a growing trend of college students throughout the nation of not being able to afford something as simple as food, in exchange for financing their education.


    The concept of a campus food pantry—Louie’s Cupboard—started with a class project geared towards social movements. With support from First-Generation Programs and Campus Dining, Louie’s Cupboard became a reality.


    Each year, we serve hundreds of students, staff and faculty through biweekly food distributions. We provide nonperishable canned and boxed goods, fruit, meat, beans, pasta, grains and more.


    Spring 2020 Distribution Dates (walk-ins are always welcome at the Office Of the Dean of Students University Union, Room 104 Monday-Friday from 8 to 5)


    All distributions will take place from 3:00 until 6:00 p.m. on the designated dates in the University Union, Room 212. A permit is required at all times to park in lot (P16) across from Cline Library.

  • Northern Arizona University (NAU) - ASNAU Student Legal Counsel

    https://in.nau.edu/dean-of-students/student-legal-counsel/

    Meet our Student Legal Counsel:
    Matthew Poirier

    It is a service provided by ASNAU to assist NAU students with issues of a legal nature. It is important that you understand your legal rights and obligations. The Student Legal Counsel is a licensed attorney who can provide advice and referrals to outside attorneys, if necessary, to aid you in protecting your legal rights.

    The attorney is a resource to assist you with your legal issues, so long as they are not in conflict with ABOR policies regarding the scope of the position. The attorney will provide limited representation by meeting with you in the office, researching issues where necessary, and providing general legal counsel. If necessary, you may be referred to DNA People’s Legal Services, the Coconino County Bar Association Attorney Referral List, the Arizona State Bar Association Attorney Referral List, or other community resources.

    The Student Legal Counsel is also a trained and certified mediator and may suggest that alternative dispute resolution options be considered to resolve certain types of issues and disputes. Mediation may be used if all parties agree to it.

    The attorney is not permitted to represent you in any adversarial hearings, judicial or administrative, to charge a fee, or to represent you in any actions resulting from a violation of the Arizona Criminal Code or the Board’s Code of Conduct. In addition, the attorney is not permitted to directly or indirectly participate as an attorney in any litigation on behalf of a student against the State of Arizona, the U.S. government, county or municipal governing bodies, nor the officers, agencies, appointees, employees or other representatives of such political entities, including the university and university officers and employees. The Student Legal Counsel is not permitted to refer clients to particular attorneys or firms.

    Any registered student on the Flagstaff Mountain Campus who has paid the 23 student services fee. You will need to show your ID or provide your ID number to the ASNAU Office Manager to schedule an appointment.

    It is critical that you bring all legal documents relating to the issue to be discussed. It is also helpful if you prepare a timeline of events, including names of others who may be involved, if applicable so that we can discuss future options. It is best to jot down your recollection of the event as soon as possible, to preserve your memory of the situation. If necessary, additional follow up will take place, including scheduling additional appointments.

We have options for vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets as well as we understand these types of food may be out of a college student's budget. We also have a variety of self-care items. Students and non-students are welcome, we serve everyone!

    We Can Still Help!

    Even with Governor Kate Brown's state restrictions in place, ASCC is here to help.

    We are offering students grocery gift cards in place of the food pantry temporarily:

    Safer Living Initiative

    Now Available in all Restrooms! 

    Up until now, OSU-Cascades did not offer free safer-sex, menstrual, or health products on campus. Lack of access to these products can result in disease transmission and health problems. In addition, the lack of products disproportionally affects low-income and at risk students. ASCC will offer free safer sex and health supplies to students, funded by student fees in each restroom on campus. We are also sharing resource hotlines and resources avalible to students on campus.

  • Pierce College/Puyallup - ASPCP Food Pantry

    https://www.pierce.ctc.edu/student-life-py-food-pantry

    Here at Pierce, we want to make sure no one goes hungry. We know that not all of our students have direct access to food and personal hygiene products here on campus, or at home, so we did something about it. The Food Pantry is a resource for all students who may need it, running entirely on donations from fellow students and our community.

    Donations

    If you have any donations, please bring them to the front desk in the Office of Student Life (C210) during operating hours (below) or in the donation box in front of our door.

    OSL Operating Hours:

    Monday: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

    Friday: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

    How Can You Help End Hunger on Campus?

    The pantry runs solely on donations, as our budget cannot be used to stock it. Donations from students like you and community members are what keep the pantry alive. This is where you come in. There will be food in the pantry only if you put it there. When donating, please keep in mind the kinds of foods that would be most beneficial to our students, such as easily-warmed meals, non-perishable foods that can be eaten on the go, utensils, and personal hygiene products.

    Rio Hondo College Opens Food Pantry, Resource Room

    •  
    •  

    WHITTIER – Rio Hondo College on Oct. 24 launched a combination food pantry and resource room – dubbed the RioSource Room – to combat student food insecurity that a survey shows challenge a staggering 47 percent of the College’s students.

    “This is a very exciting day,” Superintendent/President Teresa Dreyfuss said. “The RioSource Room is an example of what is possible when the whole community works together, from faculty and staff, to students, and our community partners. Together, we’ll make a difference in the lives of our students.”

    The pantry culminates efforts by the College’s Food Access Task Force and the Associated Students of Rio Hondo College to combat food insecurity on campus for the last two years. Those efforts include a fall 2016 survey, snacks made available students on their way to classes, Food Break stations during finals week and free groceries at the end of the 2016-17 academic year.

    The launch included a town hall highlighting the impact of food insecurity, defined as a lack of access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.

    Rio Hondo College students surveyed in fall 2016 said they worry over feeding themselves and families, including 35 percent who skip meals because they lack money. More than half the surveyed students who receive financial aid said they spend at least some of those funds on food.

    The RioSource Room, located in Building A next to the Rio Hondo College Bookstore, will serve as a drop-in pantry for students who need food while on campus or groceries to take home. It will also host information about local nonprofit and community resources, including state food aid, shelters, health providers and mental health services.

    The pantry will be supplied with aid from Food Finders, Heart of Compassion and Emmanuel Presbyterian Church Food Bank, which have donated items for past food efforts. Dreyfuss pledged $25,000 from the College as ongoing support.

    Andrew Gonzalez, ASRHC president in 2016-17, led efforts to create the pantry. Gonzalez, who now attends Cal State Fullerton, returned for the opening. He shared how, while homeless, he slept in his car and showered at Rio Hondo College.

    Martin Cuvarrubios, the current ASRHC president, thanked President Dreyfuss for pledging financial support and allocating space for the resource room.

    “We all know space is hard to get at Rio Hondo College,” he added.

    Grocery bags of food were handed out to students following the event.
