About Us
Eligibility
Anyone with a Stony Brook University ID card can utilize the pantry: students, staff,
and faculty.
Please bring your ID card with you to utilize the pantry services!
What to Expect
Pantry guests complete a brief intake form in order to receive food from the pantry. This form is NOT used to determine eligibility. The purpose of the form is to gather information so that we can best serve pantry guests.
Once the intake form is completed, pantry guests receive a bag of food. If you have a food allergy or a dietary restriction, please ask us about making a substitution for certain items you cannot eat.
Mission
The purpose of the SBU Food Pantry is to maintain a functioning food pantry to serve
students of Stony Brook University and the Stony Brook University community that are
at risk of food insecurity. The SBU Food Pantry’s goal is to service as many people
as possible to ensure that those in need of a reliable and stable food source have
a place to go to combat food insecurity. The SBU Food Pantry will provide the most
essential food items to assure that food insecure populations on campus are indeed
benefiting from this resource.
