Being food insecure means having limited or uncertain access to a sufficient quantity of food (USDA, 2011). There is growing evidence that food insecurity among students is a problem on college campuses around the country, and it is something that is increasingly encountered at Rutgers University. As a result, Rutgers is continuing its work in this area, while also expanding its efforts. Started in Fall 2016, the Rutgers Student Food Pantry is of one of the over 20 food pantries in New Brunswick. It exclusively serves Rutgers students and is located at 39 Union Street on the College Avenue Campus. The pantry is stocked by donations from Rutgers Against Hunger, Middlesex County Food Organization and Outreach Distribution Services, and private donations. If you have mobility issues please call 848-932-5500 for an appointment and we will make arrangements to meet with you at another location on campus.
