Welcome Bombers!

About the program

At the beginning of each semester, students with meal plans can donate one guest meal per semester by stopping by tables in the Campus Center. These donated meals are then distributed to students facing food insecurity.

Are you experiencing food insecurity on campus? Students who are interested in receiving donated meals should contact Student Financial Services at sfs@ithaca.edu. Students do not need to be enrolled in a campus meal plan to receive donated passes. There’s also a mobile food pantry that visits the Athletics & Events Center once a month. Check out our Campus Resources section below for more information on the permanent campus food pantry.
