UNC Charlotte Niner Student Pantry

Our mission at the Niner Student Pantry is to ensure food security, human dignity, and well-being on campus by providing in-need UNC Charlotte students with healthy, culturally appropriate emergency food. We desire to do our part in assuring that no person in the Niner community goes hungry and that every students has access to nutritious food. The pantry has just recently moved to 1224 John Kirk Drive. This location is adjacent to the University Terrace Apartments and is accessible for students commuting by car or foot. The pantry provides assistance to UNC Charlotte undergraduate and graduate students that struggle with food insecurity. Food insecurity is defined by the USDA, 2013 as a condition when a person does not have enough resources to feed themselves. Students will need to provide their 49er ID card to receive service. We offer a variety of nutritious meals and will be frequently giving demonstrations on what meals can be made with the food in our pantry. To qualify for assistance, students must live off campus and not have a University meal plan. In addition, each client must complete an intake form and a food pantry inventory list.
