The Trojan Pantry was established in the fall of 2022 as a resource for current Troy University students. Nationally, food insecurity among college students is around 30% and Troy is no exception. The Trojan Pantry exists to ensure access to basic needs is a not a barrier to our students’ academic success.
Trojan Pantry is open to all current Troy University students and provides food, personal hygiene, and school supply items.
The Trojan Pantry averages 50 student visits and distributes more than 500 lbs. of food and personal items each week. In addition to meeting basic needs, students also share that the pantry contributes to their overall academic success. More than 80% of student survey respondents said that the pantry improved their class attendance, their ability to focus more on academics, grades, and/or helped them stay enrolled.
Every $100 donated to the pantry supports 33 student visits.
Thank you for supporting Troy University students!
