Campus Corner: Student Food Pantry
The Campus Corner: Student Food Pantry is here for you—order online and pick up by appointment.*
The Campus Corner: Student Food Pantry opened in autumn 2017 as a
direct response to the need among our community of students for
more resources to fight food insecurity—the lack of nutritious
food. With tuition, fees, textbook costs and living expenses, it
has become increasingly difficult for students to juggle the
costs of living with the costs of obtaining a degree, and thus
many students are finding themselves choosing between essentials
such as food and the costs of college. The food pantry was
established to provide non-perishable food to those in need at
Ohio State Newark and Central Ohio Technical College.
Only a student ID is required to utilize the Campus Corner.
