We are excited to announce that we are launching a university-wide food drive to support our university food pantries.
Food insecurity continues to affect many individuals and families, including members of our university community. We invite students, faculty, and staff to come together to help ensure that those in need have access to food and other essential supplies.
All donations are welcome! Any items that our university food pantries cannot accept will be donated to our local food banks.
The Community Cupboard on the Augusta campus is especially in need of easy, on-the-go items, including:
Quick snacks: Granola bars, instant oatmeal packets, small boxes of cereal, chips, microwave popcorn, peanut butter crackers, and single-serving fruit cups.
Drinks: Juice boxes and shelf-stable, single-serving milk cartons.
Personal essentials: Feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, soap, shaving supplies, and shampoo.
Look for these drop-off locations on the Augusta campus: Jewett Hall, Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services in the Katz Building, Office of Student Life in the Randall Student Center, the Farmhouse, the Alumni Building, Handley Hall, the Fine Arts Building, and the Capital Center.
In addition to our campus food pantries, students experiencing food insecurity may be able to access meal assistance through the Swipe Out Hunger program
