Does the institution host a food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource focused on alleviating food insecurity, hunger and poverty among students?:
Yes
A brief description of the food bank, pantry, or equivalent resource:
In 2010, a small group of students concerned about their peers' access to food came together to found the Student Nutrition Access Center (SNAC). From SNAC's humble beginnings in a trailer at the former USU Trailer Court, to a single metal cabinet, to the pantry that it is today, students have invested countless hours to respond to the nutritional needs of other USU students.
Currently, SNAC offers the following items free of charge to USU students with a USU ID card:
-Canned and nonperishable food is donated by the Cache Community Food Pantry
-Fresh produce in the summer and fall comes from the Utah Conservation Corps Urban Community Farm
-Unsold bread, bagels, desserts, and other perishables are donated by USU Dining Services
-Ready-to-heat meals are recovered and repackaged by the Campus Kitchen at USU
