Colgate University has numerous programs in place to address food insecurity across campus and to help supplement items that may not be available through traditional meal assistance and financial aid. These programs are free to all students as Colgate works to break the stigma associated with scarcity and hunger.
Students can visit the food pantry to pick up food and toiletries. Conveniently located on campus, the pantry offers these items to students who do not have meals plans, those who need a snack during the day or anyone who needs to stock up on items before the weekend. This service is completely free and confidential.
Available items may include:

Students who need meals can apply for emergency support by filling out this request form. Ordinarily, meals will be provided on a short-term basis until another long-term solution to ensure consistent access to meals can be secured. If you have any questions, please email Dean Dorsey Spencer.
You can help other Colgate students by donating unused meals and assisting with food insecurity on campus.
