Does the institution host a food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource focused on alleviating food insecurity, hunger and poverty among students?:
A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
The Cornell Food Pantry, an initiative to help address food insecurity at Cornell.
Free, confidential access to food and personal care items is available to Cornell undergraduate and graduate students, as well as Cornell staff and faculty.
The Cornell Food Pantry's current hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-7pm, Wednesdays and Fridays 10am-1pm, and Sundays 12-3pm.
The pantry works on a system of “points”. With these points, individuals can “shop” for food and personal care items. Participants of the pantry program “may [also] receive frozen meat or fish selections, as well as refrigerated items such as butter, milk and cheese.”
Participants need to enroll each academic year. The enrollment process includes several questions related to household demographics to ensure that each individual or group receives an adequate amount of food resources (i.e. How many adults/seniors/children live with you and are dependent upon you for support?)
