A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
Through a year-long project course from 2021-2022, Clarkson Honors Program sophomore class researched and proposed a food pantry to help reduce food insecurity at Clarkson University. With the support of the Office of the Dean of Students, Sodexo, the Office of Residence Life, and the Institute for a Sustainable Environment, the Food Pantry was established on Clarkson's campus in the summer of 2021. The Food Pantry is located in the Dean of Students office which is accessible by all students, faculty and staff at Clarkson. The Food Pantry is open throughout the week and is managed by the Dean of Students office. Volunteers help inventory the pantry and sort donations. The pantry runs off both monetary and food donations from the Clarkson community and the local community.
