Abstract

Winter 2026 Food insecurity affects millions of college students nationwide, creating barriers to academic success and well-being. To address this growing challenge, SUNY Chancellor King is committed to ensuring that every SUNY campus offers a food pantry or similar resource. Joining this system-wide effort, in Fall 2023, SUNY Brockport opened The Pantry, a welcoming, stigma-free space where students, faculty, staff, and community members can access food and basic needs support. Two years since its opening, demand continues to rise, especially during times of economic uncertainty, such as the recent federal government shutdown that impacted SNAP benefits.
