Welcome Trojans!

About the program

The last week of each semester, students can donate their unused dining dollars on the Grubhub mobile app. The donated funds are used to fund swipes for students facing food insecurity. This resource is administered by the Basic Needs team who can be reached at basicneeds@usc.edu

Are you experiencing food insecurity on campus? Check out more resources here and information on the Trojan Shelter in our Campus Resources section below. Currently enrolled students who do not have a dining hall mean plan and are experiencing food insecurity may visit the Trojan Food Pantry once per week.
