SUNY Niagara Student Campus Pantry
Fundraising Campaign
The SUNY Niagara Student Campus Pantry was originally established in fall 2016. It was developed to distribute quality and nutritious emergency food to SUNY Niagara students. It also works to raise awareness surrounding hunger issues and food insecurity, especially experienced by low-income college students. In addition, it encourages student engagement in turn fostering a sense of community and service to peers on campus.
As the needs of our students continue to grow, so does the need for support. Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 in donations to be utilized towards purchasing fresh food such as; meat, dairy, vegetables, and fruit – along with providing the tools necessary to run a pantry with the addition of new cold storage units. The funds will also offer additional benefits to students such as dietary accommodations, increased inventory, and a safe space for Food Support Networks.
Making a Donation
Your donation will impact an SUNY Niagara student by feeding them for either a week, month, semester, or even a full year! Your donation will offer our students 3 full meals per day while attending school. Although the College strives to support all of our Thunderwolves, they still need your help. Please donate today!
